He looks geared up to me. I don't consider it a crime or stupid to ride without boots or leather pants for everday driving. Hell I don't wear a jacket to school and put on some crappy shorties that are worthless. I even ride in shorts and a tshirt.
I'd check tire pressure and take it to the dealer if nothing popped up.

My F4i doesn't ever wobble, your RR shouldn't, take it to the dealer, I ride my buddies 05 1KRR once in a while and it really does feel stable all the time (more than the F4i does), it sounds like something is wrong. I am not sure why everyone is talking about brakes either, if you are leaned over, you should be on the gas, not the brakes and definitely not the front brake.
Anyway, take it to the dealer, the RR is awesome and it should feel that way. Let us know the outcome.

And on another note I'd like to see Knightslugger and SpiritRR go at it in the octagon. My guess is one of you weighs about 140 pounds wet and it would be a bloodbath.

Yeah, but the 140 pounder has been training to be a cage fighter with Rex-quan-do.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you get a wobble to one side only, then there may be something going on with your forks. One may be way out of adjustment or low on fluid. Have the dealer take a look.

I would bet you're still in warrantee on the thing... take it back and make them fix it... it's why you've got the warantee in the first place!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thanks for the advice I think I will take it to the dealer
on the other hand you must have some great vision to tell what I am wearing from that picture or not so good vision since I AM wearing gloves a jacket (I can see how you can miss the gloves but the jacket??????) and joe rocket reinforced pants
I will make sure I word my questions better next time and change my avatar so I don’t start a fight about where my foot is on the footpeg

Now that you said something I was gonna say your foot should be a little back on the peg. ROFLMAO.....
I had that same prob on my 954 and it turned out to be a bad tire I do not member what it was but they put a new set on (Diablos for the win) and the bike has been fine. You are right it is new let the dealership mess with it.

that jacket looks like a short sleeved shirt to me. is there some kind of white lettering or something? That looks, i swear to christ, like a bare forearm.
anyway, you haven't answered any questions yet. i guess since you're taking it into the dealership it really doesn't matter. It could very well be something whacked that you're doing to the bike, but your reluctance to shed any more light on it other than there's a 'wobble' (if it's a wobble...) in what you think is the front is not making it any less aggravating.

see my very first reply. i had two questions that were obviously glazed over quickly.
2 Lbs less in the tires is not nearly enough. who ever thought that the tires should be speced to max. Load Capacity should be put on a pedestal, shot in the groin, and left to bleed to death by excessive blood loss to the sac. the stock Dunnies that came on my 2006 were speced at 36 front 42 rear. That's OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH! they were predictable true, but holy hell when i got on the gas out of a corner, the grip just fell apart and started to spin up every single time. when i dropped them down to 32/34 and let them work in some heat they were 100 times better. they felt sloppy at first, but that's why you warm them up before you hit it. when the air inside begins to expand due to heat they felt better and better, block by block until i got to the business park for some laps. besides, you shouldn't be doing any excessive corning so early at the start of a ride. that's just asking for trouble.
but i'll let you go back and re-read my questions. however since that IS you in your avatar, rider error isn't too far off in my mind.

their is so much it could be. forks loose, forks low oil, set up is way off. bad tire may be it will wobble going the other way he just does not trust turning that way as deep? their is so many questions and things we do not know nothing personal but we do not know you or your skills with a bike or a wrench, it would be very hard for anyone to tell you what could be wrong untill we know you and how you ride. Again nothing personal but it could be the ridder upsetting the bike in the corner by braking to late or downshifting it could be anything? ? ? on the other hand you could be a great ridder and have a prob. We do not know you so it is hard. we can guess but if you are not good with the wrench you may piis the bike off more ? ? ? ? ?
Again I am not trying to be a dick but we need a lot more info.
