most likely the front wheel lifting slightly.. as in kinda wheelie... you are probably putting to much pressure on the bars causing the effect and thus making it worse
steering dampeners help with this a lot if they are adjustable
your base dampener really wont tune that out.

I'd check your tire pressure and your suspension settings. There is huge weight transfer towards the rear of the bike when accelerating. Suspension (correct sag and compression adjustments) should handle this appropriately though.
Beyond that - possibly the headstock bearings/ something loose?
The amount of gyro force created from a spinning wheel should create a lot of stability.

It's doing something right! These symptoms you describe is why we dabble with bikes.....do you really think men wake up and want to take a bird for dinner or want to buy shoes...? Of course not, we want to know at the very least what colour knickers she was wearing, seems your ride is lifting her skirt.....please continue

Treat your handle bar ends like tubes of tooth paste, while riding do not squize any paste out. This helps to stay in control.
And yes, the Pani shakes his head a bit.

Saw that, it was quite impressive but he was having that issue to some degree almost every run down the main straight, he did pretty well for the meet and should've finished higher in the last race except for the block pass from the Yammy in turn 12 I think it was?

yea a better steering dampner would go a long way.
I had a beautiful little shake the other day. I was somewhere around 2/3 throttle on a gentle bend at about 20 degrees of lean. Hit a ridged Tarmac join line on England's finest roads, up she popped, nice little shake. Short shifted her down. Made me feel like Chaz Davies for a second. Probably didn't look as good as it felt. Hell at least I felt alive.
