Anyone know how long they are good for? I have an MTS 1100S with 20,000 miles. I was wondering if I should get them replaced on my next service before they crap out on me.

Maybe I should see a psychiatrist so he/she can help me identify what it is I'm running from. That way I'll know exactly how far I need to ride and be done with it!

 Unless they show signs of failure i.e. cracking or oil residue on the tubes I wouldn't worry about 'em. Just keep the bug guts/dirt off your tubes, and ride.

The forks should have been serviced 10k miles ago.   Sad  Simply to clean the wasted fluid out and replace any worn parts.
