Default ST170 Head shake

I have noticed recently when I go from throttle to braking in my ST170 I get the tiniest of movement on my steering wheel.

It's not like a warped disc where it vibrates, and I can't feel any wobble in the steering wheel.

It's just the slightest of movement in the steering wheel, but it's just the once, and only a few mm ?

The discs and pads look o.k.. just wondered if it could be a bush ?

I'm getting the same problem on mine while braking, kind of feels like the contours of the road is pulling it a bit, discs-pads and bushes look fine,
brake upgrade next weekend then it's in the workshop for tracking check up, i'll pop back on here let you know the outcome

Yeah that will be interesting to read, my tracking wasn't done that long ago. Put if I am honest I have been pushing it hard through low speed corners lately, and something just doesn't feel 100%
