Strange feelin
So that is the only way I can explain the experience, there are no unusual noises. When I take off from a stop the front end feels a bit squirrelly, kind of like it is on ice and only last till I get moving forward a foot or two. First felt this last weekend while taking the advance riders course. But since then felt it 5/6 more times.

assuming the bike is in mechanical shape... could be input from you as you release the clutch and work the throttle.
a really good sign of rider skill is the rider who moves straight from a stop, rather than wobble.
check tires.

By no means would I consider myself a pro, probably a between good and good enough as a rider. So no tellin what I could be doing wrong, but I have not changed anything in this regard.
This is a relatively new fellin going on. I recently put an Arnott air ride on the bike and I am tryin to get it set up, but not sure if that is it or not.

The clutch is hydraulic, curious though why would that be a consideration?
As a Rider I do not wobble about, so I think I might be a good rider, yeh!
Tire pressure checked good
This is a relatively new experience, with 12k on the bike
I thought who'll bearing made a noise? I did put the bike up on a jack last night and spun the wheels no unusual noises and I could not produce any play in the wheel. While it was up there I rechecked the neck bearing and all was good there.
