Default slight wobble

i recently was doing a burnout at 40 mph when the rear wheel caught and the handlebars shot to the right and almost threw me off. it jerked right then left then it straightend itself out. now at about 50 mph the bars have a slight shake, and when i look at the front wheel it wobbles a bit. the rim looks fine. just the tire. can you knock the balance off a tire from almost wrecking like i did. i just got the tire 500 miles ago and it was balanced then. any thoughts

loosen up your yokes and see if the front straightens up while on the stands. Remeasure while things are loose.

Stranger things have happened. The first thing I would do is lock the steering, and grab the front and back sides of the offending wheel, an try to move it on the hub. to see if you didn't manage to shift a bearing, or break something loose. Then if all was OK I would take the wheel off, and take it to check the balance. Also look the tire over to make sue you didn't make a flat spot, or bobble. Walk it back,and forth to see if you can't tell where it's out.
