Maintenance - schedule or whenever?

Yeah its good, I don't care either way. I'm just saying, if the manufacture says to service them, do it. Do you think you know better than they do?

My 9R bushings were still in great shape but I didn't do the forks. That was before I got really into my own wrenching... so a race shop did them.




I can't remember how many miles but it was a 2002 bike. 15k miles or close

The first bushing is barely worn... the 2nd is slightly worn. But then again I didn't wheelie or hard on my bikes. BUt yes as tach stated... hardly worn compared to the chopper.

Honestly in a sportbike... there is a huge change for the good by just changing the oil to some good ohlins syn oil.
