Steering Damper question

[JMOORE330]

Ive got one of them stock dampers on my crf450, yea i know they arent the best thing in the world but i feel as if it does work. BUT seems like its loosining up over time. Im sure the steering head bearings can account for it being somewhat loser, but i was wondering can you or should you have to rebuild the damper after so many hours? And how often are people replacing the steering head bearings?

I read somewhere those steering dampers can be revalved. Talk to Parma Dave, see what he says.
