Question:
How often should I change the front fork oil?

Answer:
There is no need to replace the fork oil on a routine basis. Unless you have some work done to the front forks or you would like to change the damping by changing the weight of the oil, it should last indefinitely. It's sealed in the front forks by seals that hold air (keeping out water and debris) and the oil is not subjected to forces or temperatures that would cause it to break down. Unless the seal has been compromised or damaged, there really isn't any need to change the oil.
