I received a recall notice saying the bike may be hard to turn and could result in an accident. I took mine in to have it put on the computer in mid
October even though I had experienced no problems. Within two weeks, while on an outing with a group of " harley" riders, who don't give me too much hassel, I begin to get a shimmey from right to left. Thought at first it was lousey road conditions. Got into a town and was to turn left, wouln't budge until I really forced it. Doing about 65 about 15 miles out and here came the shimmey again, but this time it was worse and the left tire lifted off the ground, I was slightly scared s_ _ tless by now. Slowed down, and did
ok for about 8 miles doing 35 and was crossing a 4 lane when all of a sudden
it turned a sharp right and over the bank I went. Been in my dealers shop over two months and can't get any info except haven't received the part yet. Is this going to happen again? anyone know or experienced this.

So you did not have any problems until the reflash?
