You will find it very comfortable....................but boring

I think you will find it redundant unless you have a ditch at the bottom of the garden that needs pumping out.
My mate has the 2016 1290 T and he complained to KTM and they put new from internals in the rebound side. That was better but still wasn't right, so they replaced the forks with a new set from the newer 2017 model bikes. This still didn't sort the problem, so they replaced the ECU for the suspension and that did the trick.
Apparently it is a known problem with KTM.

I'm liking the KTM's though some way away from replacing the GSA.
Many bikes will weave if the steering bearings are not 100%. Bikes are in effect articulated vehicles with a considerable %age of the all up weight in the steering. Any stiffness the steering bearings leads to tiny over-corrections that build into a wobble.
You can prove it by slackening the bearing preload. The steering will clack over bumps but if the speed weave stops you've found the culprit. Obviously reset/replace the bearings afterwards.
