I didn't see that when I bought mine. But I also have stupid SV forks so it may not matter much. I did put a much heavier weight oil in mine.

That's what I ran in my 9R.

Twice a year.

I'd guess that is every 1200-1500 miles.

I plan on doing mine at 10k miles...with Ohlins.

I had mine done last year, so it was around 12,000 miles. I don't know what kind of oil was used, but Vesrah seals and bushings were used.

On the street bike: probably not often enough, but I don't really push too hard on the street. I'll do it once every 10-15k miles.

On the race bike: About twice a year, which, with 8 race weekends, 4 races each & 10 track days per year, works out to roughly once every 500 miles. I know some guys that do it after every race weekend.... I don't have that kinda money, even w/ the new financial "aid" I'm getting

Haven't done it on either bike.

Prob when I get back next year on both.

I'll do all of mine next year as they each will be over 10,000 miles by then.
