front wheel shake
Trust me! start with the tires. I put the Kenda 270 on my Rear rim and the wobble is 100% gone. It's all in the tires, I don't care what anyone else says. Yes, Moving back helps but with the Kenda, I can ride anywhere on the seat & it's all good even at 75 shown on the Speedo.

75 mph is when my wobble would just start
Mostly if I had a 75 mph wobble it would be the back draft off an suv or a semi truck...Outside of that mostly 79-83mph area....Speed is the enemy....Even if you stop the wobble something else will probably wreck ya...One huge gust of unexpected wind....A tar strip...Uneven road surface...

I dunno, I can go 70 on stock tires no problem. No shake at all.
The '09's have different stock tires. The OE 603's on the 07 are more like dirt tires. As Westoz pointed out, Start by pumping up the air pressure to 30. at least that is a cheap way to start diagnosing. I just live with the wobble until my 603 wore out and then put on the Kenda K270. Death wobble was gone but, looking back, I did start running higher air pressure at the same time.
I rode today to and from work with a 20pound back pack on and no wobble. I think the back pack changed the CG enough to get ride of the wobble. I even went up to 80mph and no where at any speed did I get a wobble. I'm not understanding the physics but, I don't want to lower my bike... So can I raise the back end up and loosen the spring?
