I did a 530 km fairly high speed run to the west at the weekend - nearly all motorway work at 140 - 160 kph might have even seen 180 (indicated) for a while but I can't quite remember where or when.
On the return leg I noticed that the bike was getting a bit squirrely on right hand curves - rock steady to the left, after which I started looking and feeling around for vibrations etc. I eventually discovered the side stand and left rear left footpeg had a very strong rhytmic vibration. Exhaust is the obvious culprit I guess but could it be anything else? 2 different issues? Opinions appreciated.
