Just checked the steering head bearings and they feel quite loose. People are reporting a distinct lack of grease in the linkages and bearings on the steering head and rear shock/swingarm, so the lot's coming off to be checked and greased.
Have spent a happy hour or so this afternoon taking off the front fairing, and quite like the look. I dropped the front wheel and lowered the steering head and got some grease into it. Fairly straight forward, albeit timeconsuming. The bearings were fine with adequate grease, but the steering head was quite loose. I used the opportunity to clean it to within an inch of its life and check and lube everything and wax all the coated surfaces.
Looks like new!
