Maxcaddy (Nighthawk):

If the bikes on the centre stand and the front wheel is of the ground, set the handlebars in the middle. Push on one side of the bars and see how it moves. If it takes a two or three pushs to get the wheel to fall into full lock then the Headstock bearings are too tight. If it falls very easily and bounces off the stops, then the bearings are too loose.

If the bearings are too loose, then depending on the type of bearing fitted which will (99% of the time) be either a taper roller, or a plain ball, you can adjust or replace.

If it is the Headstock (Americans call it triple trees) bearings, and they are ball, then you probably can get a taper roller replacement which will be adjustable next time.
