I would also check all the bolts in the front end and make sure they are tight to specs.  Although I think this would cause a wobble at all speeds.  Am I correct guys?

That of course would be a good place to start.  Wobble has to do with alignment and weight distribution, mixed with some aerodynamic stuff (like with my Windjammer fairing).  Having some loose bolts could be an issue with any of that.

Funny you bring that up too...when I test drove a GS500 after fixing it's carb problems, I noticed that one fork tube was sticking up higher than the other in the top triple tree.  (this can't happen on a Savage, btw)..

On further checking I found that all 4 of the triple tree clamps were loose.  Loose....beyond the help of a fork brace Tongue

So, yes, check for loose bolts first.

I wonder what made them decide to make them wobble the grooves?  Too many cars couldn't change lanes with straight ones?  Or do the grinder drivers have pallsey?

KLX had a wobble at 60mph and up with this front mudguard.

But without she goes up to 95mph with no probs.

I've noticed that the tire tread pattern can make a big difference when riding on rain grooves. I had an old BMW R75 that would follow every wiggle and weave in a rain grooved road, and at first I thought I had a flat. I learned to live with it until the tires wore out, then changed to tires with a more diagonally oriented tread pattern. That totally solved the problem.

A fork brace made the biggest impact on surfaces like rain grooves, etc.  It's been one of my favorite add-ons/upgrades.
