I suspect the sat nav mount onto one side of handlebars could be your issue. It takes very little to wobble a bike if you touch the tiller ! I put mine in the very middle of the bars to avoid this issue.
A very clean bike for sure...does it ever get ridden ! :rolleyes ......not bad for a bike which aint been made for the last 8 yrs or so....
The head shake is my head not the bike, I find a lot of screens I have tried make my head move around above 85-90 mph, the Zero Gravity one was so bad I couldn't go above 100 mph (in Germany

[/size]Yes the bike gets ridden its done, nearly 20,000 miles, hence the need for new chain and sprockets. Actually its only the front sprocket that is worn, the teeth seem to be opening out, but I thought I would change the lot in a oner.

[/size]Mr Mike has worked his magic on it (twice), first the slip on kit, then the full monty when he started doing them. The bike has run and fuelled faultlessly since then, I have checked the carb balance each year but not had to adjust it yet. The only problem seems to be fuel consumption has gone up, I used to get around 180-190 miles to the fuel light, now I only get 145 no matter how I ride it?
