The guy in the link went on to change his fork oil/springs, as per this link:

He reckons this sorted it.
Although it could be tyres as well.

Depends what you have done to it so far - have you changed the forks/shock/dropped the yokes etc. Need more info before anyone can "diagnose" as they don't weave normally at any speed.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
