Stopped by dealership at lunch and saw a couple mechanic friends. They checked steering head for play and couldn't find any slop. They checked the rear wheel alignment and found it to be off .6mm. Didn't think that was enough to cause problem but I will adjust it tonight. Double checked air pressure. Bike has 8,500 miles. Front shows now sign of cupping, just normal wear. Rear is in need of replacement soon, but wear is not abnormal. Their concensus is that bike shouldn't have any shake and they recommend rebalancing front wheel (and of course replacing rear tire). Couldn't find any balance weight - I am not sure if there was one and it fell off??
