 Bent front fork?
#4
I agree with the Lord ... disassemble the front end.
With everything off, loosely reinsert the forks into the triple clamps and try to rotate each stanchion and see if it rotates freely and doesn't wobble the lowers, i.e. confirming the stanchion is not badly bent. Ensuring the forks are now in line and set to the desired depth, torque the triple clamp bolts. Fit the front wheel but only lightly tighten the axle. Bounce the front suspension to help it find a 'comfortable' position, then tighten the pinch bolts and axle and brakes.
Good luck, hopefully all is well with your forks.
