my current rider has that issue. his pegs are taller than normal which brings his shift lever up a notch. shift lever gets kissed by the chain. just file it down slightly if it persists. looks like you need to pay some attention to your drivetrain though.... the chain links have a pretty gnarly flat spot. replace the chain along with the sliders that are most likely worn out and you might be ok...

Yeah, that chain is rubbing on more than the shifter.

I'd check all the guides/sliders. Replace the chain and make sure it is properly adjusted.

My bad i rode once with a consumed slider (the one close to the rear sprocket).
Do you think it’s time to change it?
