front end shake

Yeah - I've had a massive problem with this recently, I've put it down mainly to the cold weather/new tyre syndrome, but I will be heading back to the tyre place if it doesn't rectify to get them rebalanced.

When you ride along, if you were to remove your hands from the bars does the bike continue in a straight line or attempt to steer off to one side or the other?[/QUOTE]

If I take my hands off it goes straight but just shakes quite a bit.

This is exactly what happened (albeit on my old Hornet) when my rear wheel bearing was on its way out. not saying it's the only thing that could cause it but removing the rear wheel to change the tyre could've affected the bearing and its easy enough to check to see if the wheel has any side to side freeplay in it.
