HI! problems with my first berg!!

Hi guys. I just got my first berg!! I`ve been regular reader on this site, but never joined as member. Now i got my own berg , and i finally had reason to join

My bike is a fe650 07 only used 42 hours.
But to my big disappointment, when i had it on the tracks for the first time i discovered
some problems.
I thought the bike was in good condition when i bought it.
But im kinda of a noob when it comes to bergs, and im not a good mechanic overall.

My first problem is that the bike wont start with the starter or the "kicker", it will only start with a starting booster hooked up, probably a valva adj and dead batt? some advise pleas?! should i buy new battery, what battery?

My second problem is that the front tire sits closer to the left fork and touches it in corners, what should i do? On the left side of the tire you have 2 metal rings, but on the right side only one. Could that be the problem? Sorry for my bad English i dont know the all the words so its difficult to explain. All comments and advice will be highly appreciated!!!

Thanks for the advice guys!

After testing the old battery and found out it was almost dead
i bought a new. Changing it was a funny experience for a berg berg noob like
me. Thinking just taking the battery out from the right side of the bike would be easy. After an hour tearing down the bike screw by screw :x , finally realizing that taking of the monoshock at the top was the answer. But the hole experience left me with a much greater understanding of the bike, so I took it with a smile . And i changed the plug. Now the bike starts like a dream with starter. My next obstacle will be to get the right valve adjusment to make it start with the kicker, never have done this before can make this an even greater experience.
