Front end wobble at highway speeds near large vehicles

Thanks, I've removed the handguards and that seems to have helped a bit.  It occurs periodically and is manageable.  My stock Vstrom 650 feels more stable/planted on the freeway than my Tracer.

@Ride365 did you ever get this figured out, I am experiencing the same on my 2019 tracer 900 GT

 

I set my sag correctly and kicked up the tire pressures a bit, no instability issues since.

Just curious if the people having these issues are on the heavy side. 

Never underestimate the impact of the rear shock on front end stability. 

If not set correctly for sag, or if you’re too heavy for the stock spring it could easily do what’s described here. 

Badly adjusted rebound damping could also make things worse.
