Rode to school and noticed the front wheel doesn't seem to be moving as smoothly as I'd imagine it should, can hear the front brakes rubbing just a bit when I roll the bike by hand but it doesn't seem any harder to roll than normal, the rotors have very slight grooves in them like from debris being stuck on the pads.

I'll try to clean it out some tomorrow as it may just be dust from the wind and rain we've been having.

Any others' suggestions highly appreciated.

Edit: and the front tire pressure was at 37 so I think we can rule that out.

as for nickell80's issue w/the front wheel ^^^
i had a similar issue and it turned out to be a slightly bent rotor , i wouldnt have noticed it if the guys who swapped my tires hadnt said anything...

Pulled the old subframe off and got the split seat one installed, rerouted the harnesses etc. Installed a new clip on weight (mine was missing one when i bought the bike). Waiting for grips, chain, fairings, and front brake lines to get in so i can really get to work.
