Default Raptor geys Squirrelly at high speed

Need advice on how to correct a high speed instability problem on my Raptor. Bike handles great at high speed over whoops & bumps but once I get to flat straight-aways it starts to drift across the trail and gets really Squirrelly like it is "floating" across the trail when I hit 50+. I upgraded to YFZ front shocks and set them to soft. I am wondering if that did anything to it. What adjustment could I make if any to fix the problem.

If the shocks changed your ride height at all, your front tires maybe "toed-in" or "toed-out". Check your alignment and adjust at the tierod ends if needed.
