I had wobble on decelaration at about 40 mph. After reading about the neck bearings, I thought mine was loose. Now millwrights and probably alot of others know that heavy grease will take up all the slop and make the bearing tolerances tighter. With that in mind, I filled the neck with grease until it came out the ends of the neck. Rode it and the wobble was gone for a couple of weeks and then started to wobble again. Took it to dealer and had them tighten them up. It is now gone for thousands of miles!! There is a grease zerk fitting on the left side of the neck and hidden by wiring.
