So, after a lot of poking about, and jumping up and down on the bike around my friends house we both agreed that the swing arm and rear shock are behaving exactly the way they should be.
Everything else is good too, no play anywhere, nothing binding, etc, which i expected anyway. Earlier i'd even given the bike a good clean as well.
But on closer inspection there was a bit of a flat spot on the rear tyre.
It's nothing major to look at, and there is still a lot of tread left in the middle of it, but i think as there is a very slight outer edge to it, it could be where it's not gripping in the slippery conditions for a split second giving me that momentary sliding feeling.
This would simply be caused by the slow and mainly upright journeys to and from work every day.
It seems a shame to have to change a decent tyre (T30) with so much tread left on it, but the unstable feeling is more than enough reason for me to do so. :\
