2007 speedmaster 2700 miles, frontend wobbles real bad between 40-45mph on deceleration. front brakes also make noise when applied that sound like a cricket. I jacked the bike up to spin the front wheel and theres one spot it always stops at, it does'nt really free wheel at all, theres tension from the brakes. any ideas?

It sounds like you have warped rotors. Is your front tire worn, too?

no, front tire still has nipples. It's a metzeler Lasertec
Is the tire suppose to spin free when off the ground?

I lessened my front end wobble recently by making sure the belt was gud'n'tite and making sure both sides of the rear axle were perfectly even. Someone else mentioned these steps in another thread recently and the tips helped out immensely.
By crickets to you mean a chirping or a buzzing? I was told the latter was normal.

sounds like two problems to me
One the wheel will not rotate when off the ground dealer fix as BrianT said could be warped rotors
Two wobble and brake noise could be related to problem one fix one first and see how you go
