Chain tension/wheel alignment
#3
I think you'll have to re-adjust it. Undo the axle nut and sit on the ground behind the bike and give the tyre a few kicks so the wheel moves forward. Be careful not to kick the bike off the stand. If the wheel moves forward the cover in the swingarm should go back in where it's supposed to be but the chain might go slack and you'll have to re adjust to get the correct slack. Something that's often over looked when adjusting the chain is the torque arm that connects to the rear caliper. It needs to be free to move when you're adjusting the chain. I think it can seize from rust and makes adjusting the chain more difficult.
