Default Bars wobbling on straight, flat roads!?

Afternoon all.

I noticed on the way to work today that my bars were wobbling gently from side-to-side, we're not talking a tank-slapper obviously, but a bit disconcerting nonetheless.

Found a flat, straight bit of road and took my hands of the bars and it still happens so I know it's not down to too tight a grip. Even tried this several times throughtout the journey on completely different road surfaces.

Bike wise it's a curvy '01 SVS, standard forks and rear shock, rear ride height raised about 1" with some shorter dog-bones and pre-load wound up max. Rear tyre is starting to square off but not enough to affect geometry and it was a straight road anyhow...

I'll see what happens tonight when I back the pre-load off but in the meantime, does anyone know if this sounds symptomatic or bearings, wheel balance etc.?

Cheers, Steve.
