Too much stiction on my '09 570

My new '09 FE570 has 20 hours on it and it still has really back stiction in the front suspension. Seems like too much to be normal as the bikes own weight wont even compress it until you give it a shove. Anything I can do to loosen it up?
 
Have you tried loosening the axle pinch bolts, and re torque them to see if the tubes are in a bind?
Check the torque on the lower triple clamps to make sure that is correct as well.
Bled the air out of the forks?
 
I guess I should try all those obvious things tonight. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

That should be part of your maintenance ritual, especially if you dropped the bike.
