Coming from a background of lubrication being everything in motoring/motorcycling, I have always had a tendency to over-grease leading to surplus grease making it's way to one or other brake disc manifesting itself in puling to one side under braking. Not a good state of affairs. I'm having to learn the art of careful neglect and it's not easy. I've been greasing every 500 miles which is obviously far too often. I'm now going to be moving to every 1000 miles. Someone I used to work with never greased his kingpins; didn't even know you were supposed to; and never had a problem!
