I've got the forks out of my K11 and its gonna be a couple of weeks before the new bushes arrive.
There seems to beno ssue with the steering, I dont feel any notches and I've no idea when the grease was last checked.
Should I strip the steering head and check the grease is OK or hope all is OK. The bike has done 90,000km.

What does this mean? 
And if your going that far, don't just grease them, replace them. Then you'll know when they were done and that they are in good condition.

Another off topic thought....
If Oz ever decided to go for this world cup madness would we see hordes of Rolf Harris lookalikes blowing on Digery-Do’s and singing “Tie my kangaroo down” 
Since SA demise form the tournament things have become nearer normal... Whater ever normal is in SA
