does the weave feel like the bike is hinged in the middle? Like the swing arm is loose or flexing?

If so then I am doubly sure it is your front forks not set right to match the rear shock. I spent ages playing with the rear shock and tyre pressures To no avail then I made some adjustments to the front and fixd it.... I had to wind the rebound adjuster up to full to get rid of it so over the winter I changed the oil from 7.5 to 10weight and now it is gone.

As your bike has a blade front end fitted it might not have been set up correctly to suit the storm. Try adding a lot more comp and rebound and see what effect that has.
Its a nightmare when your trying to make 'good progress' Yes thats exactly it, feels like the swingarms mounted on rubber, I'll take it to revs tomorrow and get them to set it up, not much good with suspension settings. Then once thats sorted will have to get the carbs done :roll:

any update Joe?

did you get an improvement with adding rebound damping on the front?

also the bounce test on the rear WP shock showed it had way too much damping so as I said, count the number of clicks it is set at now [so you can go back] and start backing off till it returns fast but controlled [as discussed in the Fork thread].
