I was making a few adjustments on my bike while it was up on a stand and noticed the play. The rear wheel and swingarm can wobble about 1" left to right. Is a certain amount of play normal, or is there a part that's worn out and I should change?

I was also playing more with the tire clearance from the chain. The bike has been riding well, but I notice the back end feels like it pulls slightly to the right under hard acceleration and kind of favors to the right when riding a wheely. It's slightly aligned pointing to the right, but if I adjust it any further towards center the knobbies really start smacking the chain. Any thoughts on that?
