    Apparently they have tapered as standard.
    Tyre pressure has been checked. It is my go to corrective action before anything else.
    Bush problems seem to be the best answer yet. I have a man prepared to give it some time next Saturday so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with.
    I will keep you all posted.

    @Crazy_Cracka501 I would suggest you start a separate thread so that it doesn't cause confusion with the OP's problem, but, keep an eye on what's suggested here too.

    They're not taper rollers as standard. I've just upgraded to taper rollers on my 2005ST.

    if they are still just ball and race head stem brgs this would be a goodplace to start looking as they only have to wear slightly or just..just come a smidgin loose and the head stem can move a mm or so and hence your weave/movement !!

    For reference, this is what I've just removed from my 2005 1050ST.

    Yeah. It is a miss-shapen tyre. I'm having a new set fitted on Saturday.
    The chain needed a good clean as well.
