My 2001 ZX6R is coming up on 4K miles (it's been parked more than ridden). So as part of the 4K mile scheduled maintenance, it calls for a fork oil change. The manual calls for a fork oil change every 2 years, and my bike hasn't had it done in...5.
I called up a local garage (not a stealership, this place mostly does race stuff, but also regular check up stuff) to price the 4K maintenance routine. They said $50 for the basics, but if I want the fork oil changed, it would be an extra $200 because they have to do alot of shit to my front end.
I didn't recieve a real definitive answer when I asked if I should have the fork oil changed. So I thought I'd see what you guys think. I don't "think" it leaks. I'm sure they could look at that pretty easy and tell me though. But after 5 years and 4K miles, do you think I should pay $200 just to have that old ass oil changed????
Advice appreciated. Thanks.
