As I didn't like the way my bike wriggles on bumpy curves I know, I asked the local dealer to change the oil fork. I took him an hour to remove the front wheel and his fender, the tubes, fill each one with different quantities and put the fork back in place.
67 $ for the work, 38 $  for the Motul 10  uglystupid2 but : I think the bike needed it (41,600 mls), I tested my bumpy curves this afternoon - but alas, not as fast as usual, saturday afternoon, too many cars on my spot  Evil
It seems that everything's back to normal  cooldude

Yes, I know that bikes may have bleed screws, but not this one, thank you Honda !  Embarrassed

The 1500's do have problems with the fork seals but I am a bit surprised at needing the oil in these. Glad all worked ok for you and things are back to normal. It also didnt cost that much for the job either which was nice. I guess your liking your bike more and more since I have not heard to much about the BMW lately.  Wink  Roll Eyes

 Grin ha ha Robert, how did you know I am longing for the telelever or the hossack fork ?  2funny

The fact is that I like the bike so much I installed yesterday chinese highway pegs in order to cool off my feet and other parts of the lower anatomy. I do not intend to change the bar, people would think I'm riding a HD even though my Valk has BMW badges on the sides  crazy2
