I just found this gem of a video on Youtube showing experiments run by Dunlop that show the root cause of many weave and wobble problems. You can also see the difference between the two. As you can see in the video, many of the root causes for the ST1300 weave issues that owners have surmised are covered in the video: [video=youtube_share;z3OQTU-kE2s]http://youtu.be/z3OQTU-kE2s[/video]

TIL (Today I Learned) the difference between wobble and weave, but most important was recovery in a weave. Lean into the tank while slowing down, don't sit up.

So in summary: 1) eat more pie to gain weight 2) remove the top case 3) remove the saddlebags 4) lie on the tank 5) obey the speed limit...

Hmmm... lighter riders are more prone to weave...
So do US donut shops prevent our police officers from having issues with weave? :D
