Mine does too, i assumed it was my silly thin tyres. luckily white lines aren't very wide so you should regain grip fairly quickly if there is a loss.

Best to try and avoid the white lines they are not as grippy as tarmac and you could lose it in an emergency stop if some twat decides to open a door on you...

There are 2 types of white lines, the simple painted ones which cause no issues and the raised plastic ones, which are supposed to stand out more by refecting light back...

The 2nd are the ones that cause problems and all of us suffer from the wobble you get when you hit these at a slight angle as the wheels struggle to get grip to mount them.

Best to hit them at a sharp angle, but thats not really possible when filtering, so try to hit the gaps between them and avoid the cats eyes that are in that gap too.

You can even feel these lines when driving a car if you are attuned to how a car is reacting to surfaces.

A lot is down to the bike/tyres. My XJ on Metzeler MEs wobbled like John Prescott having a sneezing fit. The CB on BT45s just shimmy a little.
