Help. Why does my new 946 front wheel wobble so much over 40kms?

I've never ridden a 946 but things to check;
Tyre bulge or damage.
Buckled front wheel.
Buckled back wheel.
Forks too tight with either overtightened bearings or slightly bent and not turning side to side easily.
Worn bearings causing play in the wheel on the front or back.
Under inflated tyres.
Maybe it's your first scooter? Compared to any motorcycle they all feel wobbly and take time to adjust to!
Best of luck with it!

Great. Thanks for your help. Yes I have had jap sport bikes before so it may be that. I have taken it back to the shop and they pulled the front apart and reassembled. Couldn’t find fault. It actually feels like it needs more weight on the front to me. Maybe a bag of spuds !!

Small wheels and quick steering geometry make scooters very agile in town but on the open road handling gets interesting to say the least! Even after years of scooter riding it still takes me time to adjust after riding a motorcycle. I hope you stick with it!
