Hey mate, a shimmy in the front sometimes indicates something amiss in the BACK end, e.g. tyre pressure, swing arm loose, misaligned back wheel (or the 2 wheels not running in alignment with each other); also worth checking fork oil is in there (and fork staunchions are true!). You can work through the whole thing - oh, sometimes a duff wheel bearing will make the difference.

A steering damper would stop the twitch of course, but may mask the problem rather than solve it...
good luck, cheers Pat
