I warped my discs on the front wheel with a sticking calipers, cleaned the calipers (now are fine) replaced discs (new ones fitted) replaced wheel bearings. Still have a low speed wobble. I did do my forks at the same time as they were leaking, but the seem ok.
Any ideas? Tyre is new, but was fitted before doing the work.

Rear suspension? More specifically, swingarm bushes.
Not experienced it myself but it's something that can be ticked off the list.

Just had an MOT and nothing came up with bushes, Suspension would be at speed and top boxes does affect the bike, it isn't that sort of wobble, I know what and why that is.

New rear tyre and the alignment was checked at the MOT

Possibly, but I would have thought that the bike would crab slightly, but it doesn't. Will check it though.

The weave/wobble is low speed like a warped disc, but discs are new.

I was thinking the tyre was twisted ( the only way I can explain ).

Might end up having to strip everything off then put it all back again.

I get horrendous wheel wobble on the varadero. It is the forks. I would look at that if the other options look fine.

Even if the wheel alignment was checked at MOT I'd get the tape measure out. Wink

Wheel alignment would be the crabing, this is a low speed weave wobble.

If the spindle isn't square to the axis of the bike then it could induce a weave. It'll take a couple of minutes to check so what's to lose?

Don't get me wrong I'm not discounting it, just that it doesn't feel like wheel alignment, although that will be checked again.
