    Anyone know what the service interval for a fork oil change for the std. fireblade is ?
    in the service manual it's stated as 30,000km, but only for the SP versions.

    What mileage has the bike, a lot of riders probably don't think about fork oil till a seal leaks o_O

    I figured the 3 year interval was applicable so I had mine done at the last service. At that point it was nearly 4 years old and was approaching 16,000 miles so I had the valve clearances checked as well. :eek:

    I couldn't say, I left it up to the guys at BSD Performance. They did the full service.

    I've just done my 07 @ 19000 miles and the oil looked fairly clean, yet to see if there is a difference in ride performance
