vibration has improved maybe 20% but still there.
When I adjusted the chain, the wheel as returned from the dealer after a smaller frtont sproket had been fitted & engine tuned, still squeaked.
The dealer had said to ignore the swing arm graduations & that they used a laser to line up the wheel.
When I checked the graduations, they were exactly the same measurement from the back of the swingarm on each side. I measured the rear of the axle to the rear of the swingarm & re adjusted & the squeak vanished!

Has anyone else used a laserline to align the back wheel, Im sure they are cheap enough from B & Q ?
