have you looked at your front tyre, is it unevenly worn, some big f off bolt stuck in the thread etc

get it checked over by someone competent. your bike should not be doing what you have explained.

As said above, get it checked out, somethings not right

Theres a hill near where i live and theres a couple of minors bends and a speed camera down the bottom. In the right gear and with no slow cars in front, i can get to the bottom with no hands, bends and all, no worries

humm...!! yeah something not right then. yeah checked the tyre pressure before ride as always. i stopped about 10 mins after that happened, and checked over the whole bike.....seemed fine to me, back tyre is starting to get low, but still even. and front looks fine.

I was planning on getting it in for a service before summer, so may bring it forward a little.

Axle loose, wheel unbalanced, wheel bearings shot, headstock bearings shot, headstock nut loose.

As has been said it might be a multitude of things that you have overlooked, perhaps it is better just to take it to a garage for a once over.

Just to throw another option into the mix....

Are you sure this isn't psychological ?

I remember taking my hands off the bars for the first time, on my old SV, and after a few seconds it would feel like the bike would topple if I didnt grab hold of them again.

Then once I got used to it and learnt to trust the bike it felt fine. Would often have a nice stretch of the arms and back all the way down my road on the way home from work.

no defo not. i have ridden the sv with no hands and no issues, used to think i was "well cool" at 18with my sv riding no handed!!! but this was a definate shake,of the front end. couldn't have been in my head!!!

I dont think it would lookse control, but something not right what ever!!
