    Start with simple things :)

    1. Check the front wheel nut!
    2. Move the bike forwards/back while the brake is off and listen for any scraping/friction on the pads/brake discs for warped discs.
    3. Check for play in front wheel (get a friend to lift it up on sidestand) then give the front wheel a test (requires front wheel bearings if so)
    4. Check play in headstock (may need tightening)

    give that a shot and let us know :D

    Make sure your tyre pressures are ok too.

    had that on my cg, turned out to be a bent frame lol, lets hope not eh?... but your looking at wheel bearings, headstock bearings, something lose, then something bent lol. Maybe you are putting TOO much pressure on your handle bars? that can cause a bike to wobble
