Here is a great Cycle World Kevin Cameron article on wobble and weave. Learn details about wobbles and weaves. Wobble is when the front end shakes side to side. Weave is when the back end of the bike starts to wag back and forth. Definitely two different actions. Click herefor the article. Read it, watch the video and gain some knowledge on the topic for sure. Anything by Kevin Cameron is a serious learning experience.
Many things can cause wobble. A worn tire will frequently do so if going hands off the bars, it is the effect of the wear on the tread and the tread design that causes a slight side to side shake that will amplify unless one takes the bars in hand. Windshields and fenders can cause the same shaking effect. I experienced a bar shake at around 120 mph on a Kaw Z1 when I was sitting up, disappeared when I crouched down on the tank.
