Andybike;
There should be a rubber piece on the top of your swingarm, which is designated "rubbing-strip, swingarm" in frame 7-2 of the microfiche. It is part number 2056920-T0301. It is correct for the top run of the chain to be in contact with this piece at the point where it passes over the pivot- point of the swingarm. This piece will need to be replaced from time to time. Make sure that it's there (It gets covered with coagulated chain-lube, road dirt, and crud, so it might look like part of the swingarm).
If the chain is contacting the swingarm anywhere else, it might be due to misalignment of the rear wheel. There are little datum marks at the bottom of the adjuster and at six-o'clock on the swingarm for this. Any adjustment to one side of the axle must be symmetrically opposite of the other side. (If you go clockwise in the right side, you must go anticlockwise on the left.) Better to view these marks as "from the front", or "from the rear", than "clockwise", or "anti".
Good Luck.
Bill
