Default changing fork oil

Hey was wondering when you guys change your fork oil are you finding you have to replace the fork cap rubber seals or can they be used a few times before you need to replace them?thanks

I did, one was chewed up from factory, drove me nuts tryin to find that little piece of rubber that was missing. Anyways if they're good clean and soft I'd re-use em.Good to have a spare set on hand just in case.

Wise words - they only cost a dollar each from a dealer.

Good to know. I've got my headlight out right now and am going to remove the nacelle while I'm at it and change the fork oil. I'll add the seals to my shopping list.
