The OE shock will get softer over that period. I dunno what cheese they make the spring out of, but it does just die over time.

I measured the static and rider (and rider+pillion) sag before and after changing my 25k mile old OE shock for my new Nitron. I'll try and dig them out when I get home, it was a bit of a difference.
