has anyone came across any problems once they've taken the front wheel off for example, goosed bearings or the like.
Pre-warned is pre-armed

Watch our for the speedo sensor when removing/replacing the wheel.  Rather than confuse things with left/right, it's on the opposite side to the the axle bolt.  It is easy to snap the tabs on it, so try to hold it in place until the wheel is clear of the fork and you can pull it out safely. Alternatively, I ran a string of small zip ties around holes in the brake disc and over the speedo sensor, so it was held in place.  This does mean you have to leave the wheel in place rather than away from the bike, but it worked for me.

Cheers Jaime, can't figure out your point of

"This does mean you have to leave the wheel in place rather than away from the bike"
Don't I need to take the wheel away as I'm taking off the forks?

I'd rather take everything off tbh, so will need to be careful when taking the wheel sensor out, good point though
