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. |

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!! |
