Had my first wake up call on the SV on Sat, riding through Alderley Edge center and came up to a queue of cars at around 10mph, just touched the front brake slightly to slow and the front wheel immediately locked and started slithering around from side to side, very bizarre, looked like a good road surface, no obvious diesel etc. Luckily had enough space in front of me that i could release the brake and hit the power to drag the bike back upright. Was never in any danger of dropping it i think but it was the unexpectedness of it that shook me up, makes u think.
