I'm just wondering how often I should get the forks serviced, ie oil, springs seals etc - They've done about 12000miles, a lot of trackdays, and a fair few wheelies

Also there seems to be oil or some crap on the shock shaft - is this the seal going?
Shock is under ducati warranty so maybe I might get a new one (wishful thinking)

At last fter waiting 5 minutes for the reply page to load.

Ohlins recomended service intervals are:
Race track use- Every 10 hours
Road use every 20000 to 30000Kms

Thanks mate, that might explain why theres no click on the right hand rebound adjuster

Since the forks are out I might as well send em off - MH suspension charge 65 + parts, hope they're good! They offered to fit the ohlins update kit for 220 too, not sure if its worth it tho

seen a fair few bikes on the club race scene with MH stickers on there forks so those customers must be happy with the work, otherwise I'm sure the stickers would not be on the bikes.
Be interested to know what the update kit contains, could be revised shim stacks modified pistons, different contol needle tapers on the adjusters. Some times tghe upgrades go hand in hand with suspension fluid improvements.
