HI Everybody,
I've got a 2012 Multistrada S that may need it's Öhlins fork seals replaced.
I am wondering if any of you have a ballpark figure on getting that done at a shop or dealer. I was quoted $850 at a
Ducati dealer and honestly have no idea if that's high or not.
Thanks for any input :) :)

hahahahaha......sorry for disappearing man! good to 'see' you :)
i've been all over the place. currently i'm living in Austin and here to stay for the long-term; looking to buy a house.
life is good, been riding a lot but not recently because it's been hotter than you know what here; it's like a
blast furnace at speed.....i think halloween is when it cools back down. been doing lots of outdoorsy kinda stuff and chasing the
women around which is always a good time, lol....
how about you?? how's things?
Sounds a little high to me

That sounds like the price to revalve with racetech parts on a set of Showas.
Figure $200
max for parts. Shouldn't take ~6 hrs to do that job.
Ballpark $325

Race-tech quoted me less than that. 750 for full respring and revalve.
we charge about $300 at the shop . .. but, I've done it 2x to the same bike, still leaks . . . guy uses it mostly ON pavement . . .
Ohlins seals have very weak garter springs to reduce stiction.
They leak.
would aftermarket be better? I really do not know what to do . . .
Aftermarket might not leak.
Depends what spec they're built to.
gotcha
Ohlins oil has a specific weight. May want to look into what your shop will end up using as a replacement. If they are charging you that much, then they probably dont know what it entails and are guessing of some items.
My local shop charged me about 300, but that included replacing one fork foot. It is not that big a job if you have the tools.
Thanks everyone for the replies! I'll do more research on where to go.
BTW, I took my fork legs in off the bike.
