Went out on the bike this weekend and noticed the bikes front end was al over the place , stopped the bike and found that the first bit of the stroke is almost solid . Then it will go a bit but stiff , only changed the brake pads since I last went out so not sure what's going on ?

Do you have fork bleeders?

Check to make sure the front wheel is aligned properly in the fork - it will cause biding if not - most likely what the issue is. Loosen the right side axle pinch bolts, pull in the front brake and pump the forks a few times, then re-torque the ping bolts.
When was the last time you changed the fork oil - including the inner chamber?
