I wonder if it had anything to do with the rear ride height? I raised mine quite a bit when I first got the bike. I cannot remember for sure but I think it was maybe 2 or 3 turns of the adjuster. I got the settings out of performance bike a few years ago when Trevor Franklin ran the same bike as mine (996s) The rear ride height was noticeably higher than standard if I parked it near another 996. I suppose that would make it a little more likely to weave? The trip I mentioned was with some lads on Hayabusas and suchlike so you can imagine the scenario! It was noticable to anyone behind me and I swapped bikes a few times with one of the lads who had exactly the same thing happen to him. As I said it was not a violent weave just a gentle sort of thing which was quite comical at the time.

All this talk of 996 has got me hankering after one again! Anyone want a black Multistrada?
