GF and NT700VA in rehab...

[ST1100Y]

Are you going to replace the bushings also, or just the seals. 62K miles I would think the bushing could also be ready to be replaced. Just a side note: the fork seals on my ST1300 lasted 100000 miles.

Did those at 36,000km... (did a full overhaul of forks (and then some) right after we'd obtained that NT used from a dealer...)
And I replaced fork oil last year, while replacing the head bearings...
I'll see en detail once I've them apart...
Will also have to figure out if there is possible aftermath from her crash (they don't appear bend or twisted though), a bug-splash, a chipped fork tube or indeed just age...
During a quick visual no discoloration, no scratches and no chips to be seen nor felt...
