Exactly the same symptoms as you - off throttle or on the brakes it feels like there's a big notch in the steering head bearings - doesn't want to let you turn the bars from straight ahead. Then at some point you overcome the resistance and the bike falls over into the corner. On the throttle it's much better.

Hi �berthumper

,
same here. My head bearings were woren. Got them changed and it feels like a new bike.
When we checked how smooth the steering moved, we recognized just a very slight resistance on one side. But it was a real horror riding the beast and turn in to turns.
Cheers
