(01-18-2015, 05:06 AM)CBXBob_imp Wrote: I checked the steering stem bearings as a preventive winter maintenance (5300 mi)curiosity item. Checked the torque and found to be about 1/8 turn loose. Not significant. Disassembled to check the amount of lube and found to adequate to go several years imho. Not over lubed, but totally enough unlike I have found on several other Japanese motorcycles. In conclusion if it becomes necessary to adjust the stem bearings , I would be comfortable to adjust only with out dis-assembly to check the lube. BTW the way the steering head and swing arm bearings call for a new Poly-Urea lube. I think this Honda Automotive Grease fits the bill.

Good post, thanks for the info.Thumbs Up
