I'll give you lot a laugh then...my gen 1 has done 132k..replaced the fork springs at around 15k with ohlins springs and they are still in there.
no other work done on the forks other than 1 replacement fork seal each side and a fork oil change every 30-40k or so
i corner quite hard as in smooth entrance to the bend use throttle to slow down, sling her right over on her side and drive her out....5 weight fork oil is the best for my 14 stone frame as you can feel what the forks are doing and can increase the damping at the top end if too soft.
This my personal preference for what its worth
