Kickstand doesn’t deploy fully

Got another issue with my Ninja 650, kickstand won’t fully extend, appears to get stuck, it was really grimy so I cleaned it up.

The kickstand does have a little bit of play if you push it left and right

Any ideas on what to do to trouble shoot this?

Ninja 650 2013 - Weird noise when switching on the ignition

Bought a cheap Ninja 650, with 70,000km on it, hearing some weird noises when switching the ignition on any ideas what this noise is?

Had to also replace the battery as one of the cells were swelling.

Valve adjustment question

Hi, I'm planning to check the valve clearance on my R3, I'm reading the service manual and it specifies a valve clearances of 0.11-0.18mm on the intake and 0.21-0.30mm on the exhaust.

For adjustments where am I aiming for if a valve is outside of spec? should I aim for in the middle of those specified values?

Or on the loose/tighter side depending if its an exhaust or intake valve?

I'll be also checking cylinder compression and syncing the throttle bodies, is there any other checks I should do while I'm this deep inside the bike?
