I have the same problem with my 09 , it has 400 miles on it , i get to 70 mph and it feels like the bottom is slidin back and forth under me , im not sure if its normal but i dont like it and dont know if i like the bike anymore if it keeps it up and its just the way it is .... I know its a light bike but i wouldnt think it would be doing this i havent drivin that much at over 60 so im just not sure? any help would be nice , i am going to the dealership tommorow i might see if they will balance the tires for me to double check everything , no windsheild but i do have saddle bags i was thinkin i might take them off to see if it changes the problem
