Default wobble on 05 rkc

i started to notice a wobble on my bike at diffrent speeds and cornering i had someone change the back tire a while ago but it seemed fine i have put on about 2500 miles on it . i dont know it just does not feel right. in the new edition of bike works magazine there is a article on dresser wobbles but from what i saw it looked like a very expensive fix. they replace the swingarm with a daytec unit and re alighn all the motor stabalizing links and they said it fixed the problem. i just hope i dont have to spend that kind of money. if anyone has any feedback i will be gratefull.

I would first have the neck bearings torq'd. Also check for any loose spokes. ( I assume since you said RK that they are laced wheels). Check the front tire for cupping and missing wheel weights (spoke weights). How much air pressure are you carrying in the rear air shocks? I keep mine at 11 psi.
