And yes another question coming out of the corner of Blackcash . It seems when i push the bike forward the front wheel gives resistance and grabs and will let go if you keep pushing . Is this a Bearing or Fork issue ? i have bled both front calipers but it continues .

I'd start by taking the lower fairing off, with it on the centrestand, jack the front wheel off the ground and seeing what is catching it. Should be easy to figure out from there.

Check the back wheel first!

I would pull the calipers off the rotors and try rolling the bike around to start.
I would guess the likely culprit to be a sticky caliper piston.
