When I got home I put the bike up on the stand and ran the rear wheel. I can now see that there is a seemingly random catching as well, not sure where that comes from either. Any ideas on either of these problems and solutions? Here is a

Looks like your chain is too tight, check in your handbook that you have set the chain tension correctly, better slightly loose than overtight as you can damage
countershaft conponents.
When the countershaft,the swingarm pivot point and the rear axle are in line you should still have slight play in your chain, you will probably need someone to sit on your bike
to achieve this.
Looks like you have got a few links in your chain that are binding causing the chain to whip, chain lube is your friend
