How many are this religious about Suspension Service?
Moss' recommendations:
The Friday question answered:
The question was posed for street, track and race.
Street:
Fork service every 6-8,000 miles
Shock service every 10-12,000 miles
Fork seals greased as needed (check for stiction every 2 weeks)
Polish chrome tubes at least twice a month (daily in the rain)
Clean TiNitride, DLC etc twice a month (daily in the rain)
Blow out dust seals as needed based on environment
Replace seals as needed (never only one).
Track:
Fork service every 6-8 days miles
Shock service annually/8 track days
Fork seals greased as needed (check for stiction every 2 days)
Polish chrome tubes prior to each event (daily in the rain)
Clean TiNitride, DLC etc prior to each event (daily in the rain)
Blow out dust seals as needed based on environment
Replace seals as needed (never only one).
Race:
Fork service every 4 days
Shock service based on hours (TTX = 30 hours)
Fork seals greased as needed (check for stiction every day)
Polish chrome tubes prior to each event (daily in the rain)
Clean TiNitride, DLC etc prior to each event (daily in the rain)
Blow out dust seals as needed based on environment
Replace seals as needed (never only one).
**If you are trying to win a class championship, this would be the minimum standard along with a host of other service list items. If you are trying to win a #1 plate at the club level, service intervals are even smaller down to each day for some line items such as brake fluid, chain lube, cleaning brake calipers etc.
It is your motorcycle and you care for it based on your own standards and timelines. Those who ride the dirt do this (and much more maintenance) in hours, so why can't road bikes be cared for with the same timeline?
