Correct. Honda manual states that fork oil must be changed at 12000 km
with 
SAE 25. I did it. Very positive impact on the bike behaviour. Note: put
exactly the qty stated in the manual.

adding
air in the fork ;-).

(*) the thing they put across the road and supposed to force the cars to
run slowly;
doesn't work with AT !!!
