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.
 
I have the same thing on my R3T, dealer told me it was tire cupping, a common problem on heavy bikes. Makes sense, as new tires cure it for 1500 or 2000 miles, then it comes back.
 
I have it, will take to the doctor this week, will let you know what they say
 
Wayne T fixed my high speed shake by tightening the triple-tree bolt a tad.

FYI if you haven't experienced high speed shake, it is exciting to say the least.
 
I experience it every now and then above 150 mph but I think its the cross winds affecting the aerodynamics of this rock

Cupping is usually the cause of the problem, or not taking your hands off the handlebars might help

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
