thats your front engine isolator, nothing to do with the steering. check tire pressure, tire out of round, wheel balance warped disc, steerer bearings if you have done a lot of miles |

I've had that exact problem from a worn front tire. |

damn, and i knew that... see it must be that damn Red Stag ive been drinkin since then.. i totally meant to say front isolator! anyways, i will check the rest, does the isolator look fine though? My front tire isn't worn.. but could be out of balance. I have had them for a 1 1/2 though and never really noticed it. |

The front isolator looks fine. No tearing right? The wobble could definitely be from a loose steering head bearing. If you have the service manual it's an easy adjustment. Check suspension setup too. |

Yes, the isolator is supposed to look like it's not tightened up. That is normal. |

Check your steering head bearings for correct torque. Even my wife's STT with only about 3K on it, needed them re-torqued. My bike, even with the bearing torqued properly, still does it slightly with a bridgestone BT021 tire. |
