I forgot to mention, I put a aftermarket windshield on it.
I wonder if that is causing the problem?
Maybe I'll remove it and see what happens.

I have had 4 different windshields on my bike, from great big barn doors to little fly screens.
Never had the slightest wobble on my NH 750.

You may not "see" a lot of wear at 5,000 miles but that is enough rubber gone to potentially affect balance (plus Shinko is just not highly regarded - reviews be damned).

I have run Michelin, Avon, and now Dunlop Mutants on my bike and prefer the more grippy softer rubber. The rear tires are usually shot by 6,000 miles and I am fine with that.
