    Well the book says to disassemble and inspect forks at 50k,no other scheduled maint. I didn't suspect anything was wrong(no leaks or problems with their opperation) so I just went for changing the oil. The old oil was gray, kind of like graphite,and smelly,very thin,no chunks of sheet in it. Also with the fork cover/mini dash off I was able to tweek handlebars up a little(a lot). at 6'4" I should have done that 3 yrs ago. Feels like a different bike(in a good way). :)
