Took my sv for its MOT (The first one since I got it) and it failed for excessive play in the swingarm! I also got an adviser for bearings in the front. The guy told me that they would need to replace both bearings in the swingarm at a total cost of £160 including labour which I thought was alright.

Still, its an 07 bike with 4000 miles on it. Surely the bearings can't have worn out with that?
