My guess is that the sprocket was never in line. As long as the chain isn't too tight, it shouldn't be an issue.

If you want to correct it, try to determine the distance that the sprocket needs to move in order to be perfect. That amount could then be cut from the left side of the swingarm for proper alignment. I wouldn't space the sprocket, because that puts it too close to the rear end housing, and it should bear against the hub.
