I watched several installation videos and it would appear that the springs (there are two) are much like the return spring on a garage door. If so you would have to turn the shaft the spring is around and preload the spring. When you have the required tension replace the screw.
 
Internal torsion springs like a garage door. I never thought about that until Don posted, and I looked at the assembly instructions. The spring is not even mentioned. Maybe if you Google "Harley display stand spring" you will get some information. If you enter "Harley center stand" you will get info about all of the aftermarket center stands for Harleys (the ones that lift the bike, not stabilize it.
 
I removed the center stabd and could not get it to reset. I tried to disassemble it there are two press pims I got one out but the other would not come out.
