Was riding the motorcycle around a mild curve and it began to wobble. This has happened a few times and doesnt require a sharp turn to occur. Feels like a stability problem and/an engineering defect. Ive riddin motorcycles my entire adult life and this is the first ive ever experienced this type of issue.
