Recently I changed the back tire on my 2006 Yamaha FZ6. Now the tire seems not to run in a vertical straight line. Also I adjusted the chain tension. How can I fix this problem? Or, is it even a problem that can be fix? Please watch the tire video in here:

 

Thank you in advance!

Did you balance the tire before installing on the bike?

Yes, I did.

Thank you!

Does this help?

The drive sprocket and wheel sprocket have to be perfectly aligned.  There should be hash marks where the rear axle is mounted in the swing arm and the position has to be on the same mark on both sides.

even though the white line isn't straight, the surface of the tire seems to run true.

 

The chain ring on the other hand looks crooked.

Will take a look at the chain ring.
