Ziggi,

Might be a silly question but did you compare the new yoke to the old one before you fitted it?

If it was a bit tight to fit, it may be that the offset between the forks and steering stem is slightly different from stock. For example, if the offset is greater than stock, that would have the effect of changing the fork rake and shortening trail which would make the bike feel a bit unstable.

Hard to diagnose accurately without actually seeing the parts in question but worth checking out IMO.

Out of interest, who supplied the yoke?

Cheers, Neil.
