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.
