How often do you re-torque the steering head bearings if they seem OK?

[QUOTE="Canadian FJR, post: 1427410, member: 1223"] I just finished checking my steering head bearings at 60,000 km. I re-torqued once after the first few thousand when new. Yamaha spared no expense in the grease department. Lots of grease in there and I couldn’t see any wear on the races. I just cleaned everything up, re-lubed and re-torqued. No need to lube again for a very long time. note: I have been riding many rough roads on many wet days. As Ross stated, the factory lube really can’t go anywhere as long as the seal is good and no water gets in there. Canadian FJR [/QUOTE]
