What tyres are you running? D207 RR's or GP's by any chance?

Have you dropped the forks thru the yokes at all? 6mm spacer under the shock?

Have to be honest I rode a mates TL1000s and never had a problem with it, even tried to upset it to no avail!

Ohh.... The TL will shake its head if the right situation is presented, but the VTR shouldent, so I'm thinking are the tyres ballanced (hasent throughen a weight) all bearings good, tyre pressure etc? simple sh1t that you have proberly checked already......... has this just started or has it always done it?

don't laugh, but when it does it release you grip on the bars slightly. But don't fall off, please.

as you wind it on you get a noding of the bars not a head shake
in stight line or out of corners
newish diablos 4mm on top rear shock forks back to std but no fix
and i do like to ride loose the looser i ride the more it dose it
the only thing i can fined is small up and down play in the shock
link this all ads up to about 3mm at swing arm end did not want
to replace it all just have the same thing in 6mths time :!:

Ahh... knowing that changes every thing, what happened? could be bent/twisted forks etc, it dosent take much. High sided a 500 Eurosport once and it did what you are saying afterwards..... dident figer out why, I sold it.
