Default Front end wobble

Hi Guys...I was on the highway and riding rather aggressive (75-90) when I made a sharp left turn and the front end did a kind of wobble. Like it wanted to dig in...hard to describe... I tried it again with the same results but a right hand turn was flawless... Any similar experiences or cures???

Check alignment as well as front and rear wheel bearings. Wobble on lefts makes me feel its rear wheel bearings however all three can produce similar symptoms.

check your tire pressure, and run your hands over the tires checking for cupping or uneven wear, did the wheel throw a balancing weight

Mine was loose before I rebuilt the suspension. Riccor intimator Dampners up front, progressive 412 on the rear. Rides like a dream now. Oh, rebuilt the swingarm also. Big difference.
