Hi timmah thanks maybe my stem is on tighter than my top cap and is leaving the whole thing a bit loose... although theres no noticeable play... il try this anyway it would make sense thinking about it since my fork is uncut thanks

loosen everything and re-do the tension on the top cap before touching the stem bolts, once you think it's done bang the front wheel down on the floor a couple of times then re-check the headset tension. On some set ups you can have the headset without any play but it can still feel loose when riding or lifting the bike, it just needs a tiny bit more tension.

Tighten your headset/Cane creek viscoset/Steering stabiliser spring?
