If I'm changing my forks, is it a good idea to change the headset aswell?

I've got tora sls, and am upgrading to Reba dual air forks, but the headset is over a year old (and came with my bike, so I don't actually know what it is!) I'm wondering if it's worth sticking on a new headset, or keeping the existing one, which feels fine at the moment.

Advice appreciated.

    Id just give it a service as you change the forks if I were you

    Check the races arent too pitted when you do change the fork though, if they are then you can get a new one

    if it feels fine keep it. and dont forget to swap the crown race off the old fork.
