Stop faffing about. This is dangerous. Geoff is right - back to the dealer.
Without getting angry, demand they look at it. You have rights.

Put it up on the centre stand and get someone to push the back of the bike down
so the front wheel is off the ground............. check that the steering moves
freely in both directions and is not tight at all. Make sure it's smooth with no
notchiness, particularly when pointing straight ahead.
Check front/back tyre pressures....... too high or too low will cause problems.
Wheel balancing will not cause this...... they have put the right tyres on
haven't they!
As for it being dangerous, depends if you feel in control or not! If it's just
passed an MOT, I wouldn't have thought there was anything too serious........ if
you live near Dunstable, you're welcome to bring it over and I'll have a look at
it.

Best wishes
Geoff

Thank you Geoff and thank you Mike

The guy from the dealer said that he checked head bearings. And
after I picked it up it only happened after 10-20 miles, its weird
because it wasn't there before, theres no play in the forks either,
but it does feel like the front wheel is following a railroad
track. Could it be wheel balancing? I'll also check the tyres,
they could be over-pressure (there def not under.)

Is it dangerous? Can it be left for a while until I get some money
together?

Cheers
Dave
