Re: Ignition barrel removal
If you live in the US you can get a complete security fastener tool kit at
Harbor Freight for around $10. It should have what you're looking for.

I played with the rear shocks (Hagons) from level 5-3 and the wobble was still there.? I might have to loosen the rear wheel and double check the alignment again.

Re: Speed wobble at 45mph-ish
Front tire around 28-30 PSI.? I did loosen all the front end bolts to compress the forks and of course, tighten them back to specs.? No crashes except for a few drops over the last 12 years.?

Front forks & axle aligned with the pumping method?
Were the forks ever damaged in a crash?
Checked steering head bearings? Steering is smooth and easy, not

Re: Speed wobble at 45mph-ish
The W650 will wobble when the rear springs are not firm enough for the rider and any rear loads particularly if the rear tyre is soft.
I experienced this and found that the rear springs had been

Re: W800
I have extensively ridden both the 650s and 800s.
