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.

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.
