    I wouldn't worry about it for a long time. Just be sure to run Honda coolant in it. Other coolants can eat up.the seals.

    Should last a loong time if properly maintained...Pick up a factory service manual for your bike, it'll save you money in the long run...it will have the service intervals in it...what to check and what to replace at certain mileages....
    22,000 miles and 10 years....wouldn't hurt to change the fork oil...:)
