Check front tire , maby add dyna beads I have 05 nomad with 205-60-16 GYTT running 32 psi.No wobble up to 130 ,that was an accident so can't say above that. Good luck.

Bad belt in the tire? Happens once in a while.

Check your steering bearings. Sometimes they don't seat properly on the Nomads. Also it is quite common for the steering nut not to be torqued properly. Go to vroc.org and do an archive search on steering bearings, you'll it's a very common problem. the other possibility is the front tire. Is it balanced properly? How are your rear shocks? Improper air pressure and preload can cause this situation also.

Check the overall tire for any uneven wear or cupping along with the bearings in the front/rear wheel as well. If they check out take a look at the trail of the bike (rear tire's path to the front tire's path) and see if it's out of the norm.
