[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1313558, member: 18388"] I usually lube the inner and outer seal with fork oil, to help the seal seat and to prevent stiction (for as long as that oil might last between the two lips). I wouldn't use grease on the inner lips, but on the OD is OK. I don't lube the dust seal at all. We've taken apart many forks at tech days (Gen 1 & 2), and the trend seems to be lower bushing wear is showing itself fairly well at 30k......... I see no reason why seals won't last that long, most have exceeded that from what we've seen, some much longer. So, a 30k interval to change up bushings and seals might seem a reasonable expectation....... [/QUOTE]
