Got gf's '06 LX 150 out of mothballs. Steering is stiff and 'notchy'. Bearing maintenance?

Hey all.

My gf's 06 LX 150 has been sitting in the garage with a broken starter for ~5 years. Got that fixed, replaced fuel petcock (dead) and replaced all of the hoses (felt like they were made fro pasta lol). The thing is running great, but the one remaining issue is that the steering is quite stiff. If you park it with the wheel straight forward, you can feel a very narrow notch in the center where it moves freely when you get it back out.

I'm guessing the grease in the bearings is shot and they probably just need repacked. Sound right? Should I plan on getting new bearings?

Thanks!
