I serviced mine at 30000km

Not because of leak or issues.
Just serviced it, since I'm using the bike daily.
Clean the internals and changed the fork oil only.
Felt nicer, just like new.

mind sharing where did you service your forks?

The bike workshop I always go to.

They service mostly big bikes only.

up to u bro
if u check the manual advised.to change i think macam 60k km onwards

Really?

You might want to find a better mechanic....lolz.

I've gone through 3 fronts on my single disc Dominar in the 2.5 years I had it. They all wear evenly...or in my case, wear unevenly consistently.... Due to the corsa cross x knobbly ish thread.

Unless you really do lefts more aggressively all the time, it seems to be a fork problem, steering cone bearing or your rear is misaligned. Does the bike track straight with no hands on the handlebar? You you sit straight and centre on the bike? I know someone that sits slightly off, basically counter leaning on one side all the time.

Both my front and back wears more to the left, as I tend to take lefts more aggressively...which is normal for our right hand drive roads.

Yeah I know

But I always service it more frequent

I even change the engine oil at every 3000KM ++.

erm, the shop i went to was chan bikers in shah alam. i too was puzzled when he said that, my reply was "really? there's such a thing??"

i do that on my cbr1000rr due agressive riding
but on santai bike i change on 10k km

I serviced the forks of my versys at 12k km mileage...coz it was leaking...10yo bike n only has 12k mileage so seals keras n leaked.

Z9 is at 63k km...never done.

Im probably gonna treat the forks as "if it aint broke, dont fix it" hahahha

The fork oil., just like any other oil will degrade after certain mileage.

Even my mountain bike suspension fork and the rear shocks require to change the oil. After service and change oil, feels and work like new.

there are internal bushing and sliding motions that depends on the oil to last longer
maybe it's like "don't service it, it will break"

yeah.
need to make sure the function of the absorbers/fork is in good condition.
it's all about rebound and compression rate. wearing out the fluid will surely make these two not working as it should be.

my scooter need service those things... hope the internals are still ok
adding a cart kit and YSS shocks

put ohlins lah

yss harga mampu milik and performance/price dia ok

Yes yes i know supposed to service etc....eapecially z9 factory fork oil is quite thin....

But nanti laaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahah

Service lah
After that feels like ohlin.

what's that? stickers?

need at least 2~3 hundred bucks for full service I heard
what's the stock oil weight? 2.5wt? 5wt? for our climate should go at least 1 step up

new Z9 SE comes with that, not sure worth it or not

2-300 only? i think thats the price per fork?

when i did my versys it was more total... but that oso had leak la.

forgot stock oil weight... i think 5w....cant remember though.

Z9SE Ohlins is rear only... front is same as stock iinm,

both sides, ask around...
