what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Simon.Pieman]

I thought I'd better have a look at my steering head bearings today, the previous owner (a mate) says they were last adjusted/checked at 20,000 miles-ish. The bike is now showing 59,810 miles. Blimey.
I jacked the front of the bike up and removed the top yoke and loosened off the headbearing nuts so that the stem dropped slowly through the headstock exposing the bottom bearing. Then I cleaned off the old grease and ran a finger around the cup feeling for notches/wear and did same for the top bearing. No appreciable wear so I just packed in fresh grease and tightened her up until the steering was fairly stiff to turn and then backed off a nadge until it was able to flop to each lock with a gentle push of the finger.
Waste of time then really.
I might do it again in another 40,000 miles or so  8)
