I’m nudging 12k miles so a full service is called for shortly. Now the bike is out of warranty I’m going to attend to this myself.The only thing that looks daunting is changing front fork oil - has anyone managed to do this without splashing out for the special tool the factory manual dictates?AndyLytham St. Annes
OK, either I said something to offend everyone, or no one wants to talk about changing fork oil 
Hi Andy,
Guzzilife isn’t thát fast, it takes time… I think…
A ups fork looks a bit difficult.
I brought mine to a suspension specialist.
They are able to check the inside of the fork.
That specialist did that with mine, altered the damping and changed the springs for progressive ones.
It’s like I have a complete new front fork now.

Hi Ad B, where was the specialist you used? I’d prefer that rout to the main dealer.Andy
Hi Andy,
it was a local suspension shop (Promax) in my neighbourhood.
They can do racebikes, dirtbikes and road.
In our tiny country, there are at least about 5 big shops for this kind of specialist work.
I think in your UK there will be a few dozen…
Google for Öhlins, WP, Wilbers and so on…
These shops can do more to your suspension as the best Guzzi dealer.

Hi Ad B, do you know the spec for the progressive springs? Thanks, Andrew
