SV's "Spaghetti-Legs"???
My SV1000S's front end seems to get super squirrelly when leaned over in corners. It seems to be more pronounced in longer sweepers but is still noticable in tighter turns, too. I've tried shifting my weight more to the front and it doesn't seem to help much. It's wobbles enough to make me have to stand the bike up and slow down which sucks horribly when you're already dedicated to a corner. It doesn't have inverted forks, and I've heard that could be the problem, I guess maybe cause of the lack of strength higher up on the shocks where some stress is? I dunno. I also heard that the steering damper could be shot, which wouldn't make much sense to me because the wobble is more slow and rhythmic and I thought the damper is only supposed to restrict quicker snap-like movements. I've also tried increasing the preload and tightening up the rebound/compression settings a little, but it didn't seem to help at all. The front tire is properly inflated and has decent tread, too. Help.
