Naw...it's defo a steering stem problem. I had to change a pitted fork a while ago and not alone did I upgrade to 15w oil and measured the correct amount, I also purchased a set of Hagon Progressives springs. If anything, I could have used the standard 10w oil as the forks are stiffer than I like, and I had to dial the dampning a way back as a result. You'd have to drop this bike off a cliff to have it bottom out which is a testament to Hagon Fork Springs.
On the plus side, there is not pitting or rough spots when moving the handlebars from side to side, so it might be they are just loose and need a slight tighen up.
