I could see how this could cause this problem -except- that I haven't yet changed the stock sprockets (waiting for them to be delivered), and the chain is pretty snug. Not too tight that it puts undue tension on the links, but maybe about an inch total give either push or pull.
Going to buy a swingarm lift from Harbor Freight on my way home from work and disassemble the rear axle, then maybe move on to the front to see if anything there may be misaligned. Hopefully I find something that the dealer just didn't quite put on right and fix the issue.
