Any one have any ideas what i should check or is this normal?

I dont want to sound like an *** here, but you have an 06 with just over 2000 miles. That means your riding only 500 miles a year if your the original owner. I am doing almost 500 a week on average.

Are you a new or inexperienced rider? If so, that groove wobble can be pretty nerve racking. In time you will get used to it and not even notice it. You need to get a lot more miles on that ride. The gyroscopic effect can make you feel that wobble only when you hit that groove. Is the steering normal on a smooth road and sweeping curves?
