  • Sooo...speed wobble. It seems like a massive pit to dig into with many variables. I pushed the bike a couple of times (not on public roads) and that shit is hair raising. I know the SV isn't exactly designed to sit at 120 for long periods, but how do I find cause to the effect?

  • worn tyres? bad pressures?

  • Speed wobble or weave? Weave is gently unsettling, full blooded tankslapping utterly terrifying. Usually different things that cause them too.

    Weave often a function of worn / unevenly worn tyres on roadbikes. Also too soft rear shocks, lack of damping and too much sag. You'd notice it going fast in a straight line or through gently sweeping corners.

    Tank slappers are a different beast.
