Actually you shouldn't be trying to pull it back on the stand. Use your hands, left on handlegrip and right on rear bar to stabilize the bike only. Getting it...

Should be less than $10 at any dealer. You can find it online for $5-$6 but then add shipping and probably more than your local dealer. Yamaha P/N is...
