How many miles do you have on the bike?
Only 2000 Miles so far.
Disgraceful I know but my milage is split across three bikes. :)
Does this oscillation pull the bars to one side more than another?
It's a fairly even oscillation; sort of an S-trajectory (does that make
sense)
At very low speed (just faster than walking the bike) does it feel like you
are falling in a hole in the road as you go through the front wheel's
rotation?
Yes, I feels as though the front wheel is stuck in a shallow rut at
very low speeds, as you speed up everything smooths out but still feels
slightly imprecise.
It feels to me like something is up with the front wheel bearings
Yes, It feels just like bearing play, either in the wheel or the swing
arm pivot.
Looks like I'll have to strip her down over the weekend, go through the
chassis front to back and check every pivot, bearing and mounting. If I
still don't find anything it'll be a good excuse to buy those avons!

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>These are the symptoms mine is suffering from. truly only
noticeable at very low speeds. The dealer say it is a warped rotor that is
causing the problem but it didn't start doing it until after the 12000 mile
service. We will see. It feels to me like something is up with the
front wheel bearings on the right side (as you sit on the bike).</FONT></P>
