Steering bearings

[BLUEJAY]

At times, I have a little "feeling" while riding....
...something about the steering bearing that catches my thoughts and doesn't seem right.

Did some of you guys replace the steering bearings for consumption?
...and if so.....how many km/miles did you have on the clock?



Cheers

Since I have just under 15000 Miles on the clock, I guess I'll follow your advice.

Plus, wintertime is kicking in, so...plenty of time to look after my bike.

Thanks
