    Thinking is about time that I had fork oil replaced on my 09 blade, going to have to a dealer/specialist to have it done any idea of what is going to cost.

    If they have to take the forks out of the bike I would say a couple of hours labour.
    While your having the oil changed I would recommend you change all the seals while they are at it.

    Just had my NS done last week. 1.5 hours labour plus oil was £100. Independent workshop.

    if you just want to change the oil you can do it yourself if you're happy taking the forks off the bike. I think it took a couple of hours as it was the first time with this bike. Pretty straight forward.

    True. I think many of us have a problem of lack of space and facilities. :( I've got the tools and equipment, but have to wait for the fine days outside.
