Make sure rear-tyre isn't mounted backwards.

Grab rear-wheel and wiggle it around in all directions.
Grab swingarm and yank sideways, up & down.
Chain is brand new maybe 3,000 km on it O ring I forget the brand but a good quality one. The OE one was not doing so hot after 50,000 clicks.
I’ve checked the tire and rear wheel bearing. Haven’t checked the swing arm bearings by jacking the frame up I will definitely give that a try thank you.
