I just wonder what I should work on to minimize the problem, I have a feeling the tires have a lot to do with it since when I ran on the Karoo/MT21 combo the problem was a lot bigger but on the Tourances it was much less (running on TKC's now). Should I put higher or lower pressure in them? Use harder/softer suspension? Can bad alignment of the wheels affect it?

Its the TCK80s.....mine did exactly the same as soon as I changed the tyres. And yes it is called weaving.
Mine starts at about 100-110 KPH (60-70 mph.)
To stop it I completely release my grip on the bars and just touch the throttle very gently. Scary but it works. I had the same problem on my Pan European ST1300.
Lets face it the TCK80s are not designed to go fast they are a semi off road tyre after all.
Try it....OGR
