First off I agree with everyone above, check the basics if only for piece pf mind.

Additionally Headshake can be caused by road conditions and throttle applications under certain circumstances. If you really whack the thing open will exiting a corner and the road has some braking bumps or pavement ripples the light front end will skip across the bumbs and cause the death wobble.. Letting off the throttle helps a little but I have found steadily decreasing the throttle along with applying both brakes lightly will pull it through.
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?

I had a flat spot on my front tire that caused a wobble. didn't notice it till I got past 60-65 and then only when I hit a bump or I bumped the handlebars. It was time for new tires anyways so I just was careful until I got the new tires on. I'd check the tires really well for any out of roundness problems. In my case it was some cheap Kenda's I now have some Pirelli Sport Demons. Good tires no wobbles, shakes noting.. solid up past 100 (110 indicated)
