Check tire pressure and if you just tightened the chain, make sure the rear tire is in alighnment.

I hope you're talking KPH; if not, that high speed wobble is caused by the updrafts as your GS is falling off the cliff.

As well as tdan553527 answer do you have a Givi screen or some sought of handlebar mounted screen if that is not fitted exactly just right you'll get a wobble at those speeds also check your rear shock for leaks etc :thumb:  :cheers:

sounds like a rear tire pressure issue to me.
