On my Tiger when it started happening it turned out the bolt on the drive wheel had come loose meaning the wheel had free play.

BUt if you've just fitted yours I say maybe more likely the drive wheel isn't in line with the rest of road wheels.

Check to make sure your gear box is not wobbling from cracked or busted stays...looks like slop in the drive axle to me.

My tiger done that as well..what i did was to remove the front drive wheel, the with a small file rounded the 3 edges of all the drive sprockets.

I bet it dosen't do it as much when going backwards..any way thats what i did and it fix it for me.
Hope this helps.
