The frist thing I did to the YB11 was to make the front fork springs 10% stiffer. Then ran the sag at 15-25mm this seemed to help alot with the weaveing. When I weighed the Antera wheels and saw their weight, a light went off in my head. I think a leading axle fork is a self righting design, in that the fork wants to center it's self all the time. The heavy wheel just exaggerated the motion. The lightier wheels made the bike feel like a new 600. Also the standing up under hard braking while leaned over seems to be a thing of the past. As for the SB6, lightier wheels will help I would make sure you have the right sag and spring rate for you and your bike first.
