I stand corrected on the maintenance. My steering bearings were lathered in what looked like fresh Bel-ray grease and were in perfect condition. The races had the faintest hint of a mark where the balls were pushing on them but def. still good IMO. I was actually going to just clean and re-grease until I counted only 28 balls lol. I figured just do the swap now and then I know they are good and should last a long time.
On cue, I found the last ball bearing when I was taking my bike off the stands haha.
I have no idea if I got the tension even close to correct but I'll ride it later and see how it feels and keep a close eye on it for the next few hundred miles.
