Tank prop I think you'll find. Like my Gixxer, I think the TL tank is hinged at the back. So when you lift the tank up to get to whatever you put the rod in to support it.

exactly ..and the rubber bung on the end of it is to plug the fitting on fuel tank when you remove the fuel injection return line. (fwiw)
