this is very strange. I have and XTR and on the original Tourance, nowobble at all although once past 85, cross winds would unsettle the handle bar otherwise rock steady into triple digits (not on public highway of course).
this was right through the wear for over 8000 miles.
Once past 6000 miles, the rear started tracking the groves on the road which at high motorway speeds sometimes caused a little tank slapper (nothing worrying once you got used to it)
I changed mine before the legal limit because the chunky rear handling became strange when leaning the bike and also I got fed up locking the rear when braking and changing down quickly.
