I've been unpleasantly surprised to find that many new bikes come from the factory with very little grease on the wheel bearings and on the headset. This problem compounds itself on a motorized bike where there the bearings carry a heavier load and run at higher speeds.

One of the resident MB gurus on this site (Bikeguy Joe I think) recommended packing the bearings with red high temp grease so you can tell when the bearings/race are wearing...the grease turns black....very good advice.
