[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1343201, member: 18388"] The street recommendations are overkill IMHO........ of all the FJR forks I've rebuilt, bushings noticeably wear at 25-30k so perhaps use that as a 'rebuild' interval. Other than that, seals if they're leaking, replace if cleaning with a SealMate type tool won't fix it. Seals may last a lifetime if you regularly (daily/every couple of riding days/every week??) clean the bug guts, etc. off the tubes so it doesn't go down in the seals. But I'd replace every rebuild..... there aren't any real intervals for fork oil change..... the purists like annually, some like longer.... personal preference applies. I only recently discovered info about greasing seals when you install them (is that better than a bit of fork oil?). Don't know how you'd properly grease them with the forks assembled. [/QUOTE]
