Actually, I think there is a recommended maintenance on the fork oil, but its just in there ONLY to lube the sliding action of the fork....so its really not too critical....AND, fork seals are not very critical either.  What it does for handling is amazing, especially in trail-braking.  It is very easy to maintain your line under braking, because the trail actually increases as you brake, instead of decrease like telescoping forks.  The negatives are increased unsprung weight, and a tendency for the bike body to pitch front to back over bumps.  I really like it in most situations.

Rode a friend's R1200RT & R1200GS, both bikes handled twisties nicely. Fine motorcycles!
