Question yam divi wonky wheel

right gents (and gental ladies) i am now in gods country and proving how good the org is to my cousin so,
he is a sinner and has a yam(barf)aha divi (sums him up)
but has a wobble on the front end to the point that while wipeing the visor on his lid the bike feels like its vibrateing to a large degree and if he didnt put both hands on the bars it could possiblely turn into a tank slapper at relitively low speeds need a fix soonest so show yourselves all divi owners

Get the front wheel off the ground, it it obviously a bit Stoke-on-Trent?

Could be wheel bearings, head bearings, swingarm bearings, bent rim, out of balance, tyre shagged. Owt really...

Head bearings, tyre pressures, wheel alignment?

before jumping blindly on the guessing band wagon, can we have some history here, has it been down the road or something, I take it this didn't just come about out of the blue ?

so shall we do this properly, bike, age, mileage, mods, service history, use, problem start, duration, extent, all the time or only in certain conditions, better or worse left or right/ front back.

or just ignor the above if it's another " bike making a funny noise" type post a diagnostics aren't the real aim

Cheers Mark.

Did the problem occur before or only after the new tyre was fitted?
