Well done! I don’t have the tools to do this at home, but i learn a lot by watching you!

[@andylawton9116]

These videos are great, Well done 👍 I’ve had a 1200 multistrada before, one of the reasons I got rid, was because of the running costs, after seeing this I’ll be on the lookout for a cheaper one, I used to be a mechanic, and will enjoy doing the work!

[@foadajjawi723]

Really I respect the way you are dealing with the bike parts You are professional

[@jefferyk.spellerberg176]

I have rebuilt my forks before, this was a great video Peter!

[@shutupdog11]

Great video ! I've only had to clean in between fork seals n stanchions with seal savers on my 2013 MS 1200 . Soon as the seal shows weeping , I clean it w seal savr which usually stops the weep . Thanx for the video .

THE BEST KZbin VIDEO PROJECT I SEE THIS YEAR! GREAT

[@vloogle4924]

Fantastic video! My Ducati 696 needs the same. Thank you so much!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

I had a 2010 and it was great. Never had a single problem with it. I ended up buying a 2016 and haven't had any issues with it either.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

How do you like the 2016 compared to the 2010? I bet cruise control is quite a nice feature.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

@@PracticalEnthusiast The biggest thing I miss in the 2010 is the seat height. I did a short video a while back - kzbin.info/www/bejne/epayeoaXeKelftk

[@DIYmotorcycle]

Great video. A little tip on cleaning out coolant reservoirs Depending on the size of the reservoir take like a foot long length of chain This could be the kind of chain that holds up a shop light or even more heavy duty chain for tying loads down, It Depends on the size of the reservoir. NowThrow some simple green in there and some water with it Put the cap on and shake the hell out of it Until all the grime on the inside it's broken loose Then just wash it out.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Great tip! I'll give that a try next time.

[@briantreff5574]

Looking good Peter! Not drastically different than a mountain bike fork teardown except that your fork is upside down 😉

[@ozzyfreeman2619]

Thanks buddy for your efforts, really awesome content! Good luck. I'm waiting for when I finally hear the cherished ron-don-don! ))))

[@thejonesfamily2583]

Absolutely a great 👍 job!

[@slowboat6021]

would have been nice if you had shown you "tearing the fork down" in a bit more detail? what did you use to compress the spring

[@Massimo898]

I really like you vise! thanks for the video!

[@micolli76]

Can you tell me the torque specs for the upper and lower triple clamp?

[@wagnermelo1318]

trabalho de qualidade parabens

[@haimchen160]

Haim Chen Nice video hopefully you do the same with the Ducati Multistrada 1200s 2012 it now 27,000 mile.

[@SmokeyGoblin9604]

Would this be similar if i was doing it on a '15 streetfighter? It doesn't look that hard

[@brianlf6871]

mine 2014 with same forks came back from mechanic for a fork seals change and now the front forks are at least 3cm down on travel distance (front feels way lower and looks like got the same short travel as sportbike), did one ride and even the footpegs started scratching all the time on tight turns :( any ideia on what could've he done wrong?

[@bradstoybox8811]

EXcellent!!

[@hdzkj]

Thanks for the video!!! Could you please tell me torque specs? Please 🙏🏽

[@christigallup2423]

Hi, thank you for the video. What rear stand are you using?

[@sabi7185]

Great video! Thanks for posting this! Quick question, are all forks essentially built the same? Ofc the adjustable face spanner wrench makes Ducati shocks different, but are all the components to a fork seal the same between manufacturers?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Thanks! The answer to your question is yes, for the most part. There are different styles of forks, such as upside down forks like these, and conventional right-side-up forks that are similar to a bicycle. Then there are damper rod forks (like these) and cartridge forks. As fark as replacing seals, the process is pretty much the same no matter what. However, I'd recommend having a service manual on hand to sort out any peculiarities of your specific fork.

[@Ferangerxxxv]

I have found your channel recently and thank you for the videos. I have a 2015 1200s and your giving me the courage to charge ahead with additional repairs. I do have one question. Seems like you like to wrench. That is cool. I enjoy some as well. I am a bit surprised you haven't purchased an ABBA Skylift or sometime similar you can put fitting on all your bikes to easily lift them into better positions for maintenance/cleaning. Is there a reason?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Thanks for giving the videos a watch. I've seen the ABBA stand before, and it's a sweet looking thing. I go through bikes with great frequency, ranging all makes and models. I'd have to buy every attachment they make! 😂 Eventually I'll invest in some sort of lift and it will likely be a table type for the universality of it.

[@Ferangerxxxv]

@@PracticalEnthusiast They do make an all/most model adapter kit. I don't have your problem with different bikes....well yet. Thanks again....

[@TheUzgan]

those golden forks have some problems, the gray ones are better

[@checkenginerd8651]

is it the same for a 796 hypermotar 2010 ??? please

[@27freedoms]

Hey man - not sure if you know this but do those fork seals you have linked in Amazon work with the electronic suspension too? Thanks 🙏🏼 wouldn't be able to do this without ya!

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Hi! The electronic fork is an Ohlins one, right? I don't know if the seals are the same. The Ducati parts fiche lists the Ohlins and Marzocchi fork seals as having different part numbers. Sometimes this means they are different parts, and other times it's just a way for the manufacturer to get more money for what are exactly the same parts. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

[@JohannesRegnitz]

Great Video. Thank you. I just did the job on my 2011 MTS 1200ABS. The All Balls Kit 56-146, which I have ordered is wrong. I need the 56-145 Kit. Are there different Marzocchi forks? Mine is 50mm (63mm).

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

No - you're right. I have the wrong part number & link listed. I'm so, so sorry about that! I have now updated it to be 56-145. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

[@JohannesRegnitz]

@@PracticalEnthusiast No worries. Shit happens. I am very grateful for your great MTS videos, as I've done the whole thing including valve clearance. Thanks so much for that.

[@TheCvac]

What did you set the fork height to?

[@SkrillX]

Do you know if these are the same forks as the 09 multistrada 1100s?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

I don't know, sorry! The construction of these forks are very typical so the steps should be the same for your 1100, just the seals may be different.

[@jefferyk.spellerberg176]

I have a ducati Multistrada - the forks look exactly the same. Do you know if the left and right outer fork tubes are identical? I have a bad left outer fork tube, but the left fork leg is great. I found a very cheap, complete right fork, and I want to rebuild it with new seals, throw away the right fork leg and insert my good left fork leg into the New (used) right outer fork tube. I don't see any problem, as the only difference as to right/left seems to be the lower fork legs. any thoughts on that?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

The outer fork tubes are identical. Your plan will work!

[@hitmanairsoft4853]

Any idea if you can replace the 2010 dashboard with a 2016 tft screen?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

I doubt it's possible - the wiring is likely much different not to mention the security system within it won't be compatible with an older bike.

[@PP-wz7mp]

Wrong amount of oil and oil level ...

[@fabiovasconcelos3111]

hello friend, could you direct me to a site where i can buy this two-pin tool to remove the top cover from the suspension?
