Default Weave?

after riding the sv for a bit ive noticed a type of weave and can sometimes be a type of bucking while cornering

its normally more noticeable while in fast corners at constant speed, and feels like its bucking (like a horse would but not as bad lol)

ive tried adjusting the suspension settings but its still there

is this a common problem, cause its quite unnerving when cornering

thanks

phil

Tyre pressures ok ?
Wheel Spindle Tightened up ?
Chain adjusted so that wheel is running true ?
Lifted back wheel off the ground with paddock stand and checked for any play in swingarm ?

You need to check most of these things out , are you hard on the gas when cornering ?

When was the last time you checked your tyre pressures ? It might be that.

The front end is a bit under damped, I never really noticed it till I was pushing on, on twisty roads where the road surface was bad or the road was bumpy.

when i had my Sv i had a problem with the front skipping out ended up to be a crap tyre and crap pressure...

fitted z6s with the right pressure and it was fine..
