I have worked on hundreds of bikes over the years and am pretty sure I know when I am pulling a virgin motorcycle apart.My 92 CBR has no marks on the fork caps whatso ever and even being super careful when I pulled them apart if you look at them now carefully you can see that the alloy has some tiny marks that show a socket has been there.
My bike has done a genuine 31000ks (19,375 miles) and I have full service records from the original owner and the forks where untouched.
I was expecting pretty disgusting smelling black oil in the forks but it looked pretty good even the seals were not that hard.
Has anyone else here pulled there forks apart on a low mileage SC28 and what did you find?
I have never pulled a set of forks apart that old and not found fishy smelling black oil but then again most of the bikes were high mileage and had leaking seals.
