Head stock bearings loos maybe . front wheel balencing and air presher in the tyres . uneven air/ oil in the forks. rear shok set on the low seting when it needs to be on the hard setting. Here is a few to think about i hope it helps .

Wobbly Yams....... fit a steering damper mate.....RD's need em' I'd check the steering head bolt , check the frame for bending or cracks in the welding.............coz it sounds to me like your frame is flexing too much

Sometimes people drop the forks through the yokes a bit too far, this will make it real twitchy.
