Rear Wheel / Exhaust clearance?

There seems to be very little clearance between my rear wheel and the exhaust system midpoint connectors - (at about 3 o'clock if viewed fron the RHS) so little that I've burnt the tyrewarmers when putting them on after a track session. There is at best only 5mm with the tyrewarmers on.

I'm running a 1 tooth smaller front sprocket and standard length chain, so the wheel should be further back than standard anyway!!

Is this normal? Jon's 996R seemed to suffer similarly (although with standard gearing), but when I checked a 748, there was loads of room - there cant be that much diff between a 50mm and 45mm system!!!

Whilst fitting a longer mag swingarm would be great - I can't justify this, but I may look at a 54mm system, but not if the problem will get worse!!

What's my option, fit another chain link?
