I didn’t have the problem before in my Gen1 R1S. I went in for a multi point inspection, they changed something in my steering wheel and now I have this wobble above 40mph.
Made a follow up appointment. Hopefully they don’t try to tell me it’s normal

So I had this problem. Bought a used 2022 Quad R1t site unseen in Colorado and drove it back to Michigan. Had steering wheel shake right about 70 mph the whole way home. Got a service appt 2 weeks later and took it in. First they did a tire balance on it and then the tech drove with me afterwards. I would say this fixed it roughly 80% there but not totally. I did my research and found the TSB on this forum about the steering wheel shake. They kept the vehicle for another day, got a heavier steering wheel overnighted and they installed it the next morning. I went for a test drive again with the tech and it was flawless. Thank goodness!

Just look into both the balance and the heavier steering wheel would be my recommendation. I did have to pay for the balancing, but the steering wheel was covered under warranty. With this correction I feel much better about my used car purchase. VIN 8XXX
