While I have my sespension out to Les I decided to go threw all my bearings and found the top steering bearing to have some discoloration on the cup due to water. This should not be there in the amount of time it has been out of the crat (Dec 08) Had to be from collecting moisture in the crate! If you have not done you bearings you should checkthem out.
Don't take this the wrong way but repacking ALL bearings and links is standard new bike setup for me prior to riding. Nothing like working on a pristine new bike. Dale
