Treated the bike to a little love as it’s just clocked up 75k miles. Striped and rebuilt the forks. They were due an oil change having covered an out 13k since the last one (last July) and I wanted to adjust the compression a little just to soften it up a bit.
New bushes, new seals, new Motul 10w fork oil, down to 1 turn of preload on the emulators and raised 8mm through the yokes with 5 turns of spring preload. Back to the really sweet, plush, neutral handling again and definitely feeling more grippy on the front.
Nearly time to get the rear shock rebuilt, so that’ll be next.

Indeed it is Lee and all the better for it. 75k of mostly trouble free miles. Outside of consumables, it's had two headlamp bulbs, one tailight bulb and a couple of fork seals. I suppose the bulbs could be classed as consumables too. I'd class discs and bearings as normal service items, but it has had every bearing replaced, but only one due to failure (hub carrier bearing last year as it developed some play), the rest being preventative maintenance. Brilliant bikes, but we all know that!
