YC, I should be in touch once I get the bike back.

Cheers

If you're coming to East fortune on the 18th/19th I'll set it up for you. In fact that'd be something to do on the friday afternoon now we don't have to rip the Bucket apart this time, if you can make it? You sit and have a Tennants and we'll sort it out for you

I hope I can make it to East Fortune, but even if I get the bike back in time I'll most likely take the cage.

Thanks for the offer though

Hmm...
I've emailed a few places and whilst most of them were happy to quote me ~£130, (K-tech was the only one below £100), one guy called me back asking why do I want to service the shock after 15k.

His opinion was more or less: check it, if it ain't broken - don't fix it.

So how is it with the service of aftermarket shocks? Is the mileage just a guideline or can you be sure that after it the shock will need a service.

Aftermarket shocks are a lot better than OEM, finish inside body is hard anodise rather than plain... so much less metal crap getting into oil.

But, viscosity of oil breaks down with use just same.

i believe the falco,mille,tuono all cook the rear shocks and from most of the reports it would seem 15k is the usual millage the shocks goes off
