Servicing the forks

I have a few jobs to do on my Falco over the winter and one of them is to service the forks. Is it an easy enough job to do yourself? I’m quite handy with the spanners but have never played around with forks before. Any tips?

Also can anyone recommend a good headstock stand to support the bike whilst the forks are off?

Depends what you mean by servicing. If just replacing the oil, them yes, pretty easy:

Yes I'm just wanting to replace the oil. Thanks for the link it looks fairly straight forward.

I've got one of these, my RS250 lives on it!

Seems sturdy enough although you will need to buy the correct size pin for the Falco and remove the lower yoke plastic cover to use it!
