Reason behind my Suzuki Access 125's weird handling issue: Now resolved

The mechanics at the service centre were initially denying that it could be because of this part but they eventually agreed.

BHPian shancz recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

One day I felt the "weird behaviour" once again but at about 5% of the intensity and almost continuously at slow speeds. Would've easily missed it if I hadn't experienced it before.

Took it to the ASC and found the issue.

Like a lot of you had suggested and despite the mechanics denying that originally, it was the bearings. "Racer bearing" in mechanics speak and "Bearing Cone-Set" in Suzuki's nomenclature.

The lower part had some corrosion and rust which was causing the bearings to not roll smoothly and get "stuck and unstuck" causing that "weird behaviour".

Assuming that the corrosion/rusting would've been greater and uneven for the original behaviour to occur. The mechanic agreed that the "racer bearing" was replaced back then anyway and the "fork bend" could've contributed as well.

Thank you all for helping me with your suggestions and hopefully, this would help someone else down the line.
