KLX250S re-pack steering head bearings.....any words-of-wisdom?

[pullin-gs]

Steering is starting to feel a bit heavy, so I figure it is time to service the steering head before things go bad.

I have the service manual.

I just got a lift to make things easier.

BTW Lift was on sale at Sears (online only, w/free pickup) for only $84.

Any advice or words of wisdom before I dive in?

thanks

I did this a couple years ago on my bike, you can read about it here.

Deej,

Thanks for the link.

That thread describes exactly what I am experiencing. I figured my steering head needed work, starting with a good cleaning/greasing. I found my steering "catches" in one spot, especially in deep turns. I was also having to constantly "adjust" my line even when going straight.

I'll post a followup when I'm done. I expect this will be an all day event this Saturday to fix.
