I don't think it forks binding! I would say fork oil. Check oil first. Could be wrong from factory or from PO. Your bike with your weight your forks should move more than that. If your bike tracks straight down the road I really think it's wrong amount of fork oil. I would drain oil and add the correct amount and weight. That way you will know for sure that you have the right amount of fork oil. At factory if done by person or auto filled it could very easy be wrong. JMO. Sounds like a simple thing to me. But let us know.

Reading the shop manual now! I take it your bike is a 2013?? It's takes 16.7oz in each fork. With forks off bike oil should be 4.6 inches from the top. If it's a 14 model right fork takes 17.1ozs left fork 14.7ozs. Forks off of bike right fork 4.4inches from top left fork 7.3inches from top. One more thing with no weight on your bike if you pull up on your forks do they come up much ? (With just weight of bike) meaning when you sit on it do they go down more than they should then get hard? At any rate I think it's wrong amount of oil in your forks or fork. You can remove forks easy and quickly. If your bike is less than a year old take to a dealer. But it's summer and I know they busy meaning they may have your bike for awhile. Why the 14 has 2 different oil capacitys I'm not sure. May be due to the ABS braking one caliper grabbing more than the other? I will recesrch that
