I have what I can only describe as a very fine vibration coming from my rear wheel
but only when it is leaned over on the right hand side.
It was there when i first bought the bike ,
I know the history and pre me had not been down or damaged purchased from a friend
and forum member.
I changed rear tyre as the one on it was shagged , balanced Pilot pure correct psi
tyre has been off and on a couple of times ..........still there.
I can lean the bike over hard going left smooth as silk  but right the fine vibration is there.
I came off a 695 DSS is this an idiosyncrasy of a SSS ?
Any idea what this could be would be appreciated .

Since you ask for ideas, not qualified experiences...

- swingarm bearings
- swingarm shims
- engine mounts
- wheel bearings

Check that the left rear wheel nut (holds on the sprocket carrier) is tight.

I've had several SSS bikes come in with the safety clip in place, but the nut is finger tight.

I don't know for sure that's the issue, but my best guess.

How's your chain and sprockets doing?
Especially the front.

I'd take a close look at wheel bearings then.
