i cant remember how much play there was in the kickstand fully extended when i bought the bike. i have gone over all the bolts and they seem tight but when i lean the bike over theres about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play. can anyone comment on this?

What you seem to be experiencing is normal flexing at the bolted joint that connects the stand support to the bracket. If you put the bike on the center stand you’ll notice the play your experiencing is spring loaded.
