OK , I was out for a spin this evening great ride everything A OK .

Now I'm in the habit sometimes of when on a slow strait coming into a village I'll sit back and ride with no hands just for a short stretch , maybe a bit longer if its downhill .
When I did it this time I got a wobble from the front handlebars , the moment I held them it stopped . Tried it a few times on the way home and it gets worse the longer I leave it and as the bike slows down , it's like the wobble 'accumulates' if you get what I mean.

The headstock bearings seem nice and smooth from full lock to full lock , no notchy-ness so I'm thinking maybe the front wheel bearings?

Apart from the symptoms described the bike rides great.

Anyone know what it could be?

 

I dont think its electrical - I think you hit the nail right on the head !

Maybe your tyre - but I would bet bearing - noone ever changes them often enough - including me lol

 

Thanks for the answer Harry , surprising how quickly this appeared , I live on a hill and ride down the hill with no hands virtually every time I go out , so it came on quite suddenly

 

First, rebalance your frontwheel, if that doesn't help, change the tire. Ofcourse, you can check the bearing, but I don't think that's the problem.

 

The front tyre was changed about 2 months ago and balanced . The balance weight is still there on the rim so that should be OK and nothing has happened to the tyre so that should be OK too?

 

How are your discs? any pulse when you break ?

 

Discs are fine no pulsing or anything else abnormal.

 

I have to ask... Airpressure?

 

Drunk ?
