Bike shakes when i brake
To check the steering head bearings on my bike, I put it on the centerstand and use a scissors jack to lift the front engine pad. That lifts the front tire off the ground. Then I sit in front of the bike and grab the bottom of the front forks and push/pull. Any movement shows loose bearings. Then with the front wheel still off the ground, I turn the handlebars full left and right while listening and feeling for dry spots.
Yours doesn't have a centerstand so you have to figure out how to support the center of the bike without breaking any plastic and with the front wheel off the ground, but so the bike can't fall off. Some even hang the front of the bike from a strong garage beam. If you have to grease/change/tighten your bearings, you will need a service manual.
