Default Slight Front end bounce help

Have a '21 PAS that I noticed a slight bounce in the front while riding on multiple roads. Nothing bad that feels like it is effecting the ride or steering but enough that it is noticeable. I checked the tires and spokes to see if I could see anything obvious but they looked normal and the spokes felt tight. Any ideas what could be causing this issue. Seems like it is more noticeable after riding for a bit and everything warms up

I've had this bike for a little over a month now and everything has been fine until this past Sunday.

I would put it on the center stand, strap the back end down to lift the front wheel, then spin it looking for out of roundness or even rim damage.

If it is ARH as the above link mentions, take it up to 50 so it can coast down through the speed range you are experiencing the issue, and shut it off and let it coast. If the issue is there with the engine off then it is mechanical.

No. My '21 is just the regular suspension without the ARH. At times I wish it had the ARH but have adapted to the standard settup so far. I did have the front end up and spun the wheel but didn't notice anything abnormal. I'll double check it again this weekend and do a more through assessment of the rim to make sure it isn't off balance. I may just see if that is covered in the tire warranty. Hopefully the issue can bale narrowed down to get fixed.
