Is there any way you can be a bit more descriptive of this.
The bikes had rubber insulators to mount the swingarm to the frame, also held the trans to the frame as well.
They deteriorated over time so that is something to ck.
I think your best bet would be to get with a good shop and have it ck'd out with a test ride and some inspection from a bike mechanic uh tech

i have the same bike, never had any sway to speak of. i would definitely take it to a reputable shop (not a dealer) and have them check it out for you. of course checking your tire pressures is a first step should be 40 in the back tire and 38-40 in the front..

The old one's had more of a problem than the newer ones. If you are the guy who goes into a 60 mph sweeper at 55 mph, then you probably never noticed a problem. But if you do it at 75 mph, then you probably have. More body 'english', and less steering input will help.
There are plenty of solutions on the market for it, and they do work.
