Wobbly feeling when I ride, tire problem???
Lately my bike feels wobbly while I ride. Im guessing something is wrong with my tires, but I honestly know jack about my bike. Since I know nothing I figured id find a place like this to ask my noob biker question. I have a 04 kawa ninja 500r. Any adivice will be really appreciated

It could be the tires. Or bad wheel bearings, loose wheel, swingarm bushings, steering head bearings....
I'd get that checked out by someone who knows (mechanic) pronto.

Yeah check your tire pressure first and foremost. Then if that doesn't help have a mechanic check it out.

Also, is it speed related, is the effect more pronounced at a certain speed and diminish or increase at others? The wheel could be out of balance... but the "get it checked by a mechanic" is good advice IMO.
