Another possible cause is merely the bike being left unridden for long stretches (ie during the pi55ing winter). If the seals get too dry it accelerates their demise. When I had mine changed, Pete at Pro-Twins suggested regularly pumping the front forks up and down if the bike is not being used, as this keeps the seals lubricated...won't help if the seals have already gone, but will help extend the life of the new ones.
