UPDATE
7,500miles

It still has the same really bad vibrations, surging and in the last thousand mile especially, I have noticed some kind of tapping (similar to clicking a biro pen really quickly).

The vibrations are not in time with the piston "thumps" but at a higher tempo.

I dropped it off for its 7500mile service on Friday (the same shop as it included a "service pack" for the first 2 services), asking them to have another look to see if they realised it wasnt riding as it should, giving them a brief description of the symptoms I have noticed.

To be honest I wasnt holding my breath for them admitting there was a problem with the bike but was surprised when I went to pick it up later in the day and was told they had noticed the unusual vibrations / noises and were concerned.

They said I could take it home and bring it back to them on the Monday as a "bloke from Suzuki" would be going to have a look at it but I didnt want to risk it getting worse and getting blamed for it breaking.
The shop has quite a few mechanics and some Suzuki factory trained ones so could be it be an SV650 specialist Suzuki GB chap coming out to look?

I'll let you all know the outcome. Fingers crossed the guy finds whats causing it and makes it ride as nice as it used to.
