Will this work on my forks? - dravnx - 08-04-2023
I want to replace the fork oil in my '18 R1200RS and was wondering if this compressor will work.

I have changed the fork oil of my 2016 R1200RS a couple of times. That tool looks like it will work fine to me.
You may find something useful in this post: https://rswasserboxer.com/R1200RSforum/thread-872.html, including photos of what I use in a post from Feb 6 2023 showing a fork leg leaning against a brick wall. I got the 3-way C Clamp from Home Depot for about $8. I removed the middle threaded thing. The 50 mm washer I got from Ace Hardware.
