I tend to go with The Honda maintenance schedule. It doesn't appear to be there so not a big issue it seems. Possibly meaning the oil if it's any good should last between for fork seal replacement.

I had just had a look in the Honda common service manual and it says to use ATF (auto trans fliud) in the forks but that's something I get done professionally; so I learnt something new today.  No hint of fork service interval in there either.

Big enough hassle removing the calipers last year, never mind the forks!!!!...........but that was 'cause it was the first time I removed the front wheel myself in six years.
