i will do. could it possibly be lack of play as there is absolutely no side to side play in the swingarm that is normally associated with the pointy SV. it moves up and down silky smooth as does the linkages.

I found that my bike felt awful for a while and this was because the front tyre had worn on one side. Since replacing both tyres, the bike feels lovely again.
Sorry I can't offer more insight.

any suggestions are welcome and i'm open to all.
i'm pretty anal about maintenance. tyre pressures spot on, bearings spot on., recent new front tyre (400 miles), rear about 2/3 worn but not squared. last front did have some cupping but i'm putting that down to my riding. i'll go over all the bolts on the front wheel to make sure i haven't missed any.
