I have this wobble on the front tire when I turn aggressively. Can this be fixed by tuning the suspension? I have it set to my weight. I get that front end shake it makes me nervous in the turns
 
Riding position will cause this along with the mechanical issues as well. Too little weight on a front tire will cause a wobble in a turn. Read up on riding position and it will help you alot. I had the same issue when I started riding my buell hard in the corners. Also tire pressure plays a heavy roll in handling. Keep the wheels down and good luck
 
Scg?....if so yes, more spring rate and compression..... The faster you go..... If it is happening on slow 50 mph hard turns while braking? shift your body weight to the center of the bike, your butting to much weight on the front.
Do the old zip tie trick to the forks to see where you are at.

/\ This is a good read. First post may help you, also the second post has a real good link. I personally have my bike set up per the aggressive riding chart in the link.
 
I'm going with tire pressure also. A couple lbs. low can cause all kinds of issues when you are trying to drag knee. So much so I check it before every ride. A good quality pressure gauge is a basic tool everyone should have.

I really like this Tire Pressure Gauge

Most important is make small adjustments and ride until you find the sweet spot.
