Default 5000 mile service

Just had my 5000 miles service done.

Amsoil in engine 20-50 with K&N oil filter
Bel-Ray - tranny and primary
Lubed all cables and checked everything over.
Switched my derby cover over to the Willie G I purchased

Seems to shift better than ever!

I don't think he greased my steering bearings. What is recommended for grease on that fitting? How much do i put to it?

I just use generic grease, no problems so far. no more than 2 pumps from the grease gun, else it starts coming out from the neck and getting all over the motor and tank when im riding
