front end shake

I left go of my bars on my r3t and soon had a front end wobble. Would this be a tire balance issue or unequal oil problem I the front forks

More likely you need to check the torque on the steering stem bolt. It could be a little loose. An unbalanced tire can contribute to it.

Had this problem on my R3T - problem was due to tire cupping and since I have changed the tires all is well.

I experience it every now and then above 150 mph but I think its the cross winds affecting the aerodynamics of this rock

I've been riding over 40 years, mostly triumphs, I've never had a bike that I couldn't lock the throttle and let go of the bars. You can even negotiate small turns on let's say a bonnie
