Default front end chirp/squeak

Hi all,

I've noticed a consistent slight chirp/squeak from the front end when hitting small road irregularities. It doesn't happen if the bike is rocked while stationary to compress the forks. Any idea what to check? Rotor/caliper (haven't checked to see if it occurs while the brake is applied)? Wheel bearing? Motor mount? Triple tree? Fork oil?

Thanks for any suggestions.
