Default loose steering and vibration

this could be any number of things. a bent rim, a sticking caliper, out of balance rotor, alot of mud packed in the rim, bad tie rod, bent steering arm from landing too hard after a jump, bad ball joint, a tire that has started to break apart, loose wheel, loose a-arm or a-arm bushings damaged/missing, handlebars could also be loose, etc. the list goes on and on. id check the rim for mud first, then take the wheel off and clean both the front brakes. from there you can check the balljoints and tie rod ends and a-arms as well. have you hit anything hard recently? that could bend a few things.
