my vibes are a problem

[Grahame]

When SWMBO is on the back 9loading a bit near maximum), when travelling round left hander's a vibration starts which feels as though it is coming from the back wheel.

I may be answering my own question, but, does this signify that the LHS wheel bearing is on the way out & how difficult to fix?

Any help appreciated.

Unlikely to be the LHS rear wheel bearing

Ahh Haa, there's no mention of what model of bike. it could be a 650

There are two bearing in the final drive,with the rear wheel outboard of them.
The usual problem is the larger bearing closest to the wheel.The smaller taper roller only seems to give problems if the bike is riden with a collapsing Big Bearing.Try a search (on buttons above) on Big Bearing,make a cup of tea and read on.
I presume it doesn't vibrate ridden solo and that the tyre is OK.
