Hi Dogs,

Me again. I have been riding my 2010 GS 1200 now for nearly a year and found that the bike since the day I got it, had a tendancy to be unstable at speeds from 130km/h upwards. It has a slight weave/snaking the faster I drive. When reaching 180km/h it becomes scary and I am forced to close the throttle.
I have ridden on a friend of mine's GS 1200 and his bike is dead stable at such speeds. I have also noticed that this is significantly less or even not there when 2 up (more weight) on my own bike.

Can any one assist with this?
