Severe Front end wobble while braking at slow speed - anyone else? Any thoughts?

[Mikearmentano]

The strangest thing happened the other day. My wife was riding the 2015 F3 and suddenly the bike has a severe uncontrollable wobble while braking, but only just before the bike came to a stop. I immediately did a test ride and reproduced the issue several times. This was occurring in straight line braking and the bike shifted left and right at less than 10 mph until stopped. So we cancelled the rest of the ride and rode about 5 miles to our home. Oddly enough, the issue self resolved by the time we got home. At the last service, about 1000 miles ago, the front brake pads were worn and were scheduled to be replaced at the next service. My mechanic said they were still within spec. I will replace both rotors and pads. Has this happened to anyone? Any thoughts?

This makes me suspect worn steering components.
Check for any play in the steering system.

I am thinking that if it was worn steering components, it probably would not resolve and probably would not have come on so acutely. But I will check that out for sure. Thanks.

I'm wondering if the power steering could have been the culprit.

Your lug nuts are torqued to spec?

Odds are good that by replacing rotors/pads will solve your problem. Warped rotors are not uncommon.

is tire pressure up to specs?

Tire pressure is equal on both sides @ 18 psi
