The bike sat with only 300 miles on it with original owner. I bought it last September & have put the 10K on it.
Would sitting idle cause the forks to leak maybe?

Seals (not just fork seals) do dry out if the bikes not ridden. My first bike was an '83 Honda GL650i Silverwing. It only had 25,000 miles on it when I bought it in 1998 -- less than 2,000 miles/year. When I got it, the fork seals leaked and a couple of seals on the engine leaked as well. I didn't have money for repairs then, so I figured I'd just buy oil. But I rode the bike a lot, and averaged more miles/month than the previous owners had averaged in a year. By the time I'd put 3-4000 miles on the bike, nothing leaked.Would sitting idle cause the forks to leak maybe?
Labour is an hourly rate charged in half hour segments in France. So if the service takes an hour and three-quarters I still pay for 2 hours so 15 minutes labour the time it takes to change a tyre is "free"."I usually get my tyres changed at a service interval rather than waiting till they're right on the limit to keep the labour costs down."
How does that work? Aren't the labo(u)r costs the same either way?
