Default steering neck bearing adjustment

replaced my steering neck bearing and adjusted the bearing preload with the fall away method. i've put about 200-300 miles on the bike since I installed the new bearing. should i readjust the bearing after a few hundred miles? i'm going up to NY in a week, so I just want to make sure.

no clunking or shaking when going down the road, just a curiousity question, i guess

Nope, if it feels good on the road, leave it alone.
