[Closed] Forks and Shocks - how often do you *really* service them?

How often does everyone actually get their forks/shocks serviced? At £85 per fork/shock "per year" (as recommended by Manitou) this is a killer service program to keep going.

I emailed Manitou who also say that my inactivity on my full suss (been off it for about a year plus) is worse than riding it - eh??

Are there actually any fit and forget forks/shocks? Are we just playing into the manfacturer's hands? When do you know it's REALLY time for a service - and is it ever too late???

Thanks
