Default Front end issues

I have a 19 deluxe with 3200 miles. This afternoon it felt like I was on ice. I have a slight wobble and the bike is hard to push in neutral and in gear with the clutch in. Any ideas where I should start looking? Tire pressure is normal. Maybe the bearings?

Head bearings, warped rotor. Clutch spring loose. I’d just bring it to dealer at this point. Either way probs have to tear into it a bit

Or bad wheel bearings.

Might be a caliper dragging.

The riding on ice thing is probably loose steering head bearings, that's exactly what it feels like. Bad wheel bearings usually get noisy but not always.

I have never had a bike that pushes easy in gear with clutch in.
