Cause your a$$ is too big? (just kidding)

What type of wobble? Front wheel? Rear? Is it a side to side wobble or more of a vibration? How many miles on your bike?

My guess would be that you aren't looking straight ahead - if you are looking down or to the side, you will be all over the place.

If the bike has under 1000 miles it is probably due to the inherent engine knock, that is your knees knocking against the engine for fear of screwing up.

Sounds like you're as tense as a ***** in church. Relax, focus on the point you want to stop at, roll up to it at the same speed you would in your car, keep your feet on the boards till you need 'em.

if you have to swerve then yes, your stopping to slow.... or you need to ride more and get comfortable with your bike.
