Riding home in glorious Sunshine[tm] (imported from Foregn Climes, must of been) and noticed a slight slackness in the steering, so I checked the headset and found it slightly loose.
Method for checking headset:
- park bike on propstand - stand straddling boom of bike, facing back of bike, keeping legs clear of mucky chainy bits - clamp wheel between feet - wiggle steerer from side to side - plant leg on Incredibly Hot Disc Rotor - swear immoderately - tighten headset - ride on.

<snigger> knowing how you swear, I'm surprised I didn't hear it at work today ;-)
I've done similar when looking at a customers car, they'll be showing me their obviously siezed brake, and of course I'll go and stick my hand on the shiny chrome wheel nuts......
