Tenere steering dangerous issue

Hi guys i recently owned a Tenere but now i find that when i go in straight at low speeds (10-20MPH) i can turn softly for 15 degrees, more than that i feel an opposite force in the front wheel and i must overtake that "limit" to effectively turn in any direction. The bike there does not turn softly, there is an extra force i should apply to go past 15 degrees and there i can not predict so easy the bike move. Passing the 15 degrees (aprox) it feels like a "jump" in the turning swing. I feel this is risky and even more pronounced if a pillion is with me.

Tyres are ok, the bike is in very good shape. I lowered the bike in the forks an inch just to get to step the floor but i believe this should not lead to this strange and sudden behavior.

Is this normal in a Tenere?

Best
