First of all you will want to clean (with degreaser) and then oil (with chain lube or grease) the spring and the main join as pictured here.
p.s. if your chain looks like mine here, then you DESPERATELY need to give it some TLC before it gets worse!
Next up you will want to locate the side stand sensor. This looks like a little piston, which will rub against a curved metal plate. You will want to remove this (for easy access). Clean it with degreaser, and re-lube with chain lube or grease ensuring the lube gets inside the piston. Clean the gunk of the metal plate, and reattach the sensor.
