If you've had the wheel off, were the forks aligned properly during axle installation?

Fork oil levels looking good?

Any wheel weights fall off from the tire balance job?

If you have spoke rims, make sure they are all tight

I would suggest you learn more about your bike and bikes in general before you start cruising at 100+

Well had my bike in for it's 16,000km service yesterday and they found the wobble,it was a combo of things but the neck bearings were out of adjustment AGAIN,they were just adjusted a month or so ago at a different dealer and one of my rear shocks was not in the same setting as the other.Spokes were tight and engine mounts were good.

My next question is are the neck bearings usually like this?This is the second time that mine have been adjusted.
