Default Wheel Bearings

Hi guys, new member from GA here. I've got a '92 F2 that has been sitting up mostly since the Pandemic began. Went to take it out the other day for a short ride and noticed its not rolling easily. The brakes seem fine so guessing its a wheel bearing issue? The bike has 54k miles on it and other than greasing the axle bolts when I've had the wheels off I haven't done anything to the bearings. Is it time for new bearings or are these OE bearings serviceable?

They are serviceable, but don't guess that those are the problem. A dry/bad chain, low tire pressure, or a dragging brake can offer rolling resistance too. You can easily isolate all those things to her to the root cause.
