Went to see a client in Harties today.  :) Took the Bakwena highway and on the way did average 130-145kph (YES! A KLR can do 140 and even 155 kph!). Once in a while the bike would start weaving  or wobble slightly. ???
No - my jacket fits snuggle.
No cross wind of any sort at all.
Bike completly standard except for the Dunlop knobbly  on the back.
Stil has the original handguards. (Someone has blamed this for the weaving a long time ago.)
My bike now has 6500 on the clock.
My previous KLR also had a weave/wobble problem up to about 7-8000km and then disappeard. Have no idea what I did or was done. Could it have something to do with a loose steering something?
Any suggestions and/or help from from the other KLR owners? Thanks.
