    If it is happening only during deceleration then it might be that your head bearings have been adjusted too lose.

    I have seen this before.

    Check the following

    - Head set bearing
    - Triple clamp alignment
    - Fork oil level, do you have a leaking fork seal?
    - Rear wheel alignment.

    If none of those things are out of spec, then it could be chassis problem if the bike has been lay down before. To verify chassis alignment, I suggest find a CompuTrack dealer and have it verified.

    That is all I can think of right now. Let us know what you find. Good luck.
