It's like I'm constantly riding on a road snake.
Straight line feels all wobbley.
I'm about to go redial my suspension setup but it feels more like a tire out of balance or like the back tire is about to fall off so I really don't think its suspension setup.
Any ideas?

Are your tires mis-matched, or worn oddly?

I would get that faintly at one particular speed on some surfaces when I was mixing brands and profiles between front and back on my Cyclone.

Isolators and bearings would be my next check.

Actually yes I still have a SpotTec on the front and a Pilot Power on the rear,But it just recently started doing it n I've had the mismatch for at least 4 months.

It might be just wearing into a funny oscillation. If it were me, I would play with tire inflation and see if that has a pronounced effect on the situation, or seems unrelated.

If it is a tire issue, inflation changes should have a dramatic impact on how it behaves. If not a tire issue, inflation changes should have a minor impact.

I mix tires all the time, and it generally works fine, but a funny interaction is always a possibility.

Mine did that when the back tire was low (plugged nail hole that wouldn't hold). Even a few psi made a big difference in handling.

Be careful until you figure it out!

Good luck,
Bill

How many miles on your front tire?
Sounds like you need a new one?

Mine did that when the head bearings needed adjusting.

Its really easy
