After getting a new set of tires put on my motorcycle, i noticed that there is a wobble that starts when i decelerate anywhere between 40 and 50 mph with no braking and in a straight line.i have had the bike back to a dealership and the mechanic that installed the tires.the front tire was balanced, then replaced.the last time that i had the bike looked at, the mechanic said that it appears the stem nut needed tightening down, and charged me for labor on this as well.now, the bike still has the wobble in the front end, only it occurs at around 60mph instead of 40-50.i have been thoroughly researching this issue, and it appears the front steering bearings used in this series of motorcycle have a chronic issue, in fact so severe that there are several aftermarket manufacturers making replacement bearings that alleviate this issue with the oem bearings.i will be looking into getting this replacement done myself through the local dealership, who i feel should have caught the issue the first time around.their diagnosis was that there was a problem with the tire.
