this might sound ridiculous but I've been in and out of the bus lanes since boris opened them up. Some of them are like ploughed fields where the buses run on the soft tarmac and can pull you all over the road and the rolling profile of some of them are difficult to see in some conditions. I'm assuming it's not that but just thougth I'd mention it.
yeh checked spacers was hoping it might be that think it could be more sinister
no what you mean its a mine field out there,all the road tax we pay should have best roads in europe

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure somebody will come up with the reason why. Are your brakes rubbing when this rolling motion starts? Is there any knocking noises. Get someone to hold the bars and give the front wheel a good tug in all directions, this will see if there is any play.
cheers mate thats very kind,have just put it back together gonna have another spin,part exed my tl for the rsvr after reading so many good write ups swapped bikes with my mate and he noticed it straight away got no confidence in front end,where abouts in gateshead are you buffalo

hi spoonz damper is fine,but dont know what the rose joints are sounds expensive?
The rose joints are the pivots points at each end of the damper. Can sieze up giving a feeling similar to the damper wound right up.
Has it got any signs of oil seepage past the front fork seals?
My front end was vague and tram lined when you crossed uneven road surfaces and it turned out the oil levels where all to ****.
