Recently took delivery of my new KTM 990 Adventure S. I have done about 100km thus far.

My problem is, there is a very evident weave/wiggle/wobble on the bars while decelerating or on neutral throttle. It is not as bad as a tankslapper and it also doesn't increase in frequency so as to turn into a tankslap. Basically you can let go of the bars at speed and not notice much but as the bike slows down it becomes more apparent.

I have checked:
Tyre pressure - it is fine
Suspension settings - standard
Rim - no dents and looks perfectly round

Could this be:
Wheel alignment?
Oval tyre?
Tube related?

Any tips from someone who have experience in this type of issue would be greatly appreciated.
