thats a damn good word. im gonna start using it.

'how r u oscilating today?'
im not convinced i know what it means though

A pendulum, for example, oscilates. It basicaly means move back n forth.

An oscillation is an eliptical path not just a linear movement back and forth.

You mean sineusoidal, I'm an engineer you know! I just didn't want to confuse the guy with further geometric jargon

Hence the word, 'basicaly'

sounds a bit like your ar$e-uppards set up won't help, but other things are steering head bearings loose (tight tends to give a slow weave at low speed, loose tends to give wobbles typically at around 40mph and worse on overrun).

Also front tyre not suited to the bike (carcass stiffness) or wrong pressure can do it.

I'd suggest check the fork legs/yokes aren't twisted (suspension bumps can then input a turning effect)

Look this is a "U" rated site so please refrain from using language like that in future.

Fixed now, with forks done and head-race bearing tightened up.

You haven't been about much, you you doin'?
