  1. Hello everyone. I've decided to change the oil and seals and probably the bushes from what I'm reading on the front ohlins forks of my MTs 1200s 2010.
    From what I see in the manual, I will need 3 specific tools.
    The first one to open the top of the forks, which I've found on eBay.
    But there are 2 more which I can't find online. (Use tool no. 88713.3527 and bush no. 88713.3529 to remove the first sliding bush.)
    Has anyone done this before and if so, what did you use?
    This is my first attempt, but after having done the valve clearance and the restoration of the rear hub, I'm confident it can be achieved.
    Thanks for your replies.

  3. One thing I don't understand by reading the manual and watching some videos is, this parts here in the picture are they inside some sort of tube unit? Will I need to worry about them or are they sealed inside another inner tube?

  4. so far this is the most comprehensive video I've found and I hope the forks on the multi are similar to those.

  7. I've sent some emails to see if this new model will fit my forks. the description says 48 mm. I believe it should.
     
  8. Here's another video for the fg860 in case anyone would need it.
    It's in Russian or something like that but it still can be useful.
