I got the left case off right now & got the new gasket yesterday. I'll be fixing the oil leak and putting it back together later this month. I am down in Phoenix for a couple of weeks where it is warm.
Then we will be looking at the wandering once it is running again. I am leaning towards my headset being loosen up or the race damaged causing stickage. I looked at headset cable obstructions & stickage when on the side stand and when it is not rolling, everything seems perfect.

OK, where to begin...
In my parts of the country we pronouce it w"o"ndering. The "7 Wonders of the world" is pronounced w"u"nder.
******! .... replace the 'k' with a 'd' and pronounce it, so it is not wandering... just another thing wrong with the dictionary... put it on the list.
Whoever developed the dictionary is an idiot, not an engineer! Your not an english major by any chance?

Sorry if either of my post were offensive to anyone as I need no help slaughtering the English language, using poor grammar, or poor spellin. I offered the few clues I could think of for the issue and was interested in the cause and the fix. I hope you find and correct it when you get it up and going.

Steering head bearings?
Tire pressure?
Loosen the triple clamp bolts, knock the front wheel around a little and re-tighten. Loosen the front axle and bounce the forks up & down then re-tighten. (Not sure I have this sequence correct, but I've heard of this jamming up after a crash.)

Thanks deej, I think that is it as the symtoms are the same and everything is seems ok.
I wish I would have redone the bearings when I had the fork work done.
Only thing is, my forks turn easy when stopped or on the side stand, it only effects during riding!!!!!
Did you put zurts in the the headtube to use a grease gun later?

No I didn't put in grease fittings, you really can't since its a huge tube, it would take 2 tubes of grease to fill up. Mine was wandering when riding, worse at 15-30 mph. After I took it all apart and cleaned it up and greases the bearings, all was back to normal again.
