I have a weird noise in my front end and as I was tightening stuff up I noticed this. Does the neck stem look right?

Does it look normal - yes - but looks don't matter

Is it set correctly - only jacking the bike up and checking fall away will tell for certain

You could jack it up and shake the forks - but unless you know what is correct - this won't tell you much

Which multi-line wire is that coming out of the frame hole in the bottom right of the pic, the one that goes down?

That looks like it could be a battery tender pig tail.

yup, normal.

I read that you can't do the fallaway test without unhooking the cables. You can get a good idea but the cables can skew a measurement with resistance or pull.
