wobble & tank slap
Being analytical, I LOVE IT, when I figure out things then find "Experts" had the same Answers. Besides, The triple clamp. Air Pressure, Tire wear, This Video & one that comes up after on Tank slapping had most of the things I learned, Trial & ERROR. (LOL
I learned that when above 70mph (same in vid) When the wobble starts If I lean forward OR move my feet forward onto highway bar, it stops. And Happens More, when I have a load on the back.

That means you need to adj your ride height.
Use to get some wobble when loading up my R11GS for trips. A few clicks of positive preload in the rear took care of it. Ditto on my present KLR and 1250S Bandit.

What I learned was that if I keep eating cheeseburgers, I don't have to worry about it!

Mark,Thank you for posting this link.This is probably the 2d most important thing I have ever learned at this or any other motorbike forum. see frame 4.50mThe first important thing, 'Look where you want to go', not at the item (car, rock, ledge) that is going to hurt you.
