Re: SV Vibrations?
a retain bolt on the rear brake tension arm drop off, I found out when I used the rear brake and the caliper bite the disc then went around hitting the swing arm, almost locking the rear and snapping the brake hose

Re: SV Vibrations?
Sorry to go off topic but something I've noticed about my bike: if I take my hands off the bars the bike goes to the left. Does this mean the wheel alignments out or could it be anything (most likely my crap balance?). It did seem relatively severe though (few seconds til the curb) noticed it a bit but finally tested today.

Re: SV Vibrations?
I spent ages trying to figure this out. Then I fitted a second wing mirror and it went in a straight line
 But, unless there's anything silly like that, then yeah there is the chance something is misaligned.

Re: SV Vibrations?
hmm possibly linked to the abnormal chicken strips on the front? if the fork heights are a mil out could this do it or is it likely to be at the rear end?
The bike seems to handle alright otherwise...just when I go no handed lol.
