Once past 6000 miles, the rear started tracking the groves on the road which at high motorway speeds sometimes caused a little tank slapper (nothing worrying once you got used to it)
I changed mine before the legal limit because the chunky rear handling became strange when leaning the bike and also I got fed up locking the rear when braking and changing down quickly.

It's the little tank slapper that I am talking about , passing Trucks at speed also set it off. In my case rear tyre wear was the root cause.
