Saves tonne of time compared to doing it later with no spring-tension on bolt. I recall similar process for 250 forks when I did them couple years ago just before selling bike.
But 5-6 hours? Nah, they're scamming you! For 1st-time non-mechanic doing this, following step-by-step in manual, 2-hours max!

Interesting! Thanks for the info.
What happened this far is that I used the "classic"
Seal Mate" tool on both fork legs, after having revceived some new ones in my mail.
I have been driving the Ninja 250 more than 100 kilometers since, and both fork legs seem to stay dry from oil. :-)
Few, if any products, have saved me as much money during my more than 40 years on and off 2 wheels, than this product: https://sealmate.net/products/seal-mate
It has cured the leaks on one of the Ninja 250 fork legs 3 times, and the other one once. (Happened at mileages between 30 and 40 000 kms, and recently, when approaching 67 000 kms / 42 k miles).
