That entire channel that the arrow points to is new on yours, right?

Buy a new rear tire (not a 140/80/70), and chalk it up as an investment in your riding education. If you're including shop costs to modify any of the chain links and adjust the chain slack, getting a new tire put on correctly isn't much more. |
You have already made a weak point in the tire.
DO NOT just bump the tire back, that thing needs replaced before the next time you ride going 90 miles and it blows.
That is no bueno
