Slight vibration when pulling away slowly

I'v just noticed a slight shudder from the front wheel if I pull away slowly. It's only for a second. Possibly does it when I go faster but it's not noticeable. I can't see anything obvious.

Check the ABS sensor and ring gap, front wheel bearing, brake pads and disc. Have you hit a sleeping policeman too hard.

ABS, that's a thought. Thanks.

If your sure it's from the front brake pistons sticking.

Presumably, I could check that by not using the front brakes and seeing if it goes away?

Put it on the stand get someone or use something to get the front wheel off the ground and see if it spins reasonably easy,
there is often a little drag but you should be able to turn it easily.

warped disc??
apply brake disc cleaner ride up road grab a handful do several times to ensure even coverage ( though remember what comes off the disc must stlick to the pad for a short while at least)
