I just turned 73,000 miles on my 1500 and have only done tires, 2 sets of plugs, oil and filters.  No problems at all with forks leaking or not responding like showroom.  Easiest bike I've ever owned.

4-5K more miles likely wouldn't be a problem, IMHO.

Thanks, was thinking closer too 20000 miles I will need new rubber by then.

"HAVE" to is probably not the word here. You can let it go for a while, but you should try to follow the pm schedule... its preventive <LOL>... your bike won't fall apart if you don't but you may run into problems at some point.

Cheers.

I have decided to do my own service, its so much cheaper! Do I need to change the fork oil? The rest does not sound to bad and will  gladly take any tip on any part of the the 15000 mile service. I have the rick doss headlight and have to remove it to take the forks apart. FYI the oil is done thanks to that rock.
