    In your manual it says every 2 years. I kinda follow that. I know that others push it farther. There are some that would say: "Change what????........forks have oil????" and they never have a problem for years....

    Lurking with interest on the caliper brackets..
    Seen them on ebay before. A tad overkill on the capo maybe.

    On the fork goo, be aware on the manuals inconsistency on air gap.
    Seeing as how you'l be in there consider some widgets http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...inators&page=5
    They work.
