How many miles have you got on the front tyre? :?

That's the 1st place I would look
 
I experienced something similar...on my new '07. About a thousand miles after taking delivery of my new '07, I was out for a ride, and I got up to speed and realized I hadn't secured the straps on my helmet, so I took both hands off the grips to secure it, and as my bike began to slow, the bars started a bit of wobble that got progressively worse. I stabilized it and tried it again. Sure enough, same experience. The bars would have completely flopped from side to side, I am sure, if I'd have allowed it.

I also noticed that my bike seemed to be a bit more "sensitive" to the road. I took it back to the dealer and he took it for a test drive. He came right back and said the Steering Head Bearing needed adjusted. He took it in and made the adjustment. Steady as a rock-et now, and I'm a really happy camper.

Just my $.02.
 
my front tyre has got alot of wear on one side (roundabouts or rotarys) caused it but it dont wobble.Still trying to wear the other side before i buy another.Well you gotta get your moneys worth aint ya.
 
J,

Mine did the same thing - I checked tire pressure etc. and ultimately found out it was the steering head bearing as gr3ywolf suggested. Mechanic tightened it up and it runs tight. Easy fix - good luck!
