Think Harry Reed does both cars and bikes....he did my motocross bikes and know he was tuning for Nascar as well....he is in North Carolina, I am in so cal.......also used to talk to Stacy Berger @ OHLINS in North Carolina or South I forget?......very cool and knowledgeable people and this was when first TTX kits were out for MX applications.......bought shock and fork cartridges for 2k and they were worth every penny.........great stuff, and can't thank Harry and Stacy for all their help

Great instructional videos! As a retired motorcycle mechanic of twenty years, I’m jealous of your shop tools, haha. Really love those vices you have for holding the fork legs, and the ones on your other bench for shocks. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Thank you very much!

[@johnrobertson5489]

Brilliant instructional video, Always wondered how this was done, Keep up the great work

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Thanks John. As you can see it's not rocket science. It is just a matter of doing a few of them but mostly having the correct tools

I have the same fork vise, I love it... I only wish I could reposition the handle sometimes when it’s in the wrong position...

[@hornet224]

Speaking of extra cool, at 22:20 those glass snap in place! Awesome vise, wrenches, tools and parts. If you made violins, you'd be Stratavarious

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Thanks! I always say that Ohlins is a tool company that also sells dampers!! Those glasses are called "Clicks". I think they are sold on Amazon or just google clicks. They are great and last forever. The only place they don't work so well is laying in bed with a pillow behind your head. I have regular style glasses for that.

Great video,always interesting. One question please,do you raccommend ohlins oil either in other forks like showa big piston or kayaba? Thanks for all you do and share

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Hi Gilberto I don't really do any other kind of shocks and forks but when I did I used Ohlins oil

Amazing video, i m about to do my electronic Olhins from my 2018 Mv F4RR and i m absolutly lost lol

[@theohlinsguy4649]

I answered on [e-mail]. Thanks!!!

[@XtremeCoke]

Great content！Just a question @16:23 , when you re-assemble the tube like that; in comparison to put the seals on; do you not likely get a cut on the seals from the sharp edge?

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Hi. Thanks for the great comment. The top of the Ohlins fork tubes have a very small chamfer to avoid nicking the seal. Just another little detail that makes Ohlins products the best.

Hi, have you services the4 NPX 25/30 gas forks found in the latest Panigale V4S? Would love to see a video of this.

[@theohlinsguy4649]

HI Glenn. Thanks for asking but I am not really doing videos at the moment. I took a look at the FL 969 parts list but couldn't find a service manual. The other problem would be that I would have to have one to do a video and since it is so new I probably won't be getting any soon unless someone bends one up. Pretty interesting piece though. I see where you nitrogen fill it but I can't tell if it is an emulsion fork or if there is a separator piston somewhere.

[@thefixitshow4367]

YOU are off to a GREAT start, however, I have suggestions for you as an on screen actor......................Let's talk. 100% for you Mr. Brenner/Ohlins Guy.

[@frankpeutz9106]

Hi Douglas, I love your video's (can always learn something new from an experienced person like yourself) but I have 1 question: you smear some grease on the fork seals prior to assembling the inner tube (like I always do) but in the manuals I have from Ohlins they always say to not use grease on the inside but "just" fork oil. What's your opinion on this? I also smear some on the inside of the dust seals (scraper as they call it): is that a bad thing (collecting dust and debris?) or a good thing? Also: would love to see a video on checking/removing the bushings from the outer tubes (they have different versions with sleeves and without but just to see you do it would be great). Stay healthy and hope to see more from you! Frank (Netherlands)

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Hi Frank. I put grease on and have never had a problem. I will check with my contacts at Ohlins and get their take on it. I always put grease on the seals in shocks which should then have the same problem. I can't see why it would be different on forks. But I can always learn something and do learn something every day. I don't see many bushing wear problems on forks. If I see wear on the top bushing I will replace both. You need some special Ohlins tools to remove and install the bushings. It is not rocket science but having the correct tool is important.

[@eduardocabrera9188]

Hi Douglas! After watching this video I've found that the tool you use to unscrew the fork tubes is "the real deal" and far better than the one I use for this purpose. After some web searching I've found that this tool is actually manufactured by the German brand GEDORE, so I've bought a brand new one at a very decent price. By the way, they call it 'friction ratchet tool'. I have an easy question about the collet you use. According to GEDORE the OD for the inserts to be used in this tool is 57 mm but what I've measured is just a bit over 56 mm (being a flexible head is not easy to measure accurately). So, I'd like to know if possible the OD of the collet you're using, just to ask my machinist to manufacture some for my usual tube sizes. A big THANK YOU in advance for your kind answer!

[@theohlinsguy4649]

Hi Eduardo. The OD is 56mm on the collets. If you are located in the US I can probably get you the collet you need from Ohlins.

[@przemysawkowalewski8482]

Hi, is the Öhlins fork for Honda cbr 1000rr SP1 2017 one is responsible for rebound and the other for the Compression? It is semi active fork 4 wires for each, I'm asking because after service one is hard to compress and the other one is much easier to, the softer one making an noise like quiet slurp both are with 155mm air gap

The Ohlins ones are quite expensive but there are some that look good that are reasonably priced. I saw one that looked very similar to the Ohlins ones. Here is the link: www.resuspension.com/tools/ohlins/shock-vise.html
