An ergonomic front fork service tool for servicing front fork tubes of a motorcycle includes a long threaded screw engaged in a threaded housing with a swivel foot at the bottom end and a large hand knob at the top end. The threaded housing is attached to a swinging arm attached to a vertical rod support. A base bar has a hollow tube attached at a right angle a distance away from its distal end, which receives and supports the vertical rod while permitting both swinging of the arm and vertical adjustment. The position between the rod and tube is locked by fasteners threaded transversally in the top wall of the tube. A portion of the base bar is used to support the service tool in a bench vise, or to fasten to a work bench, and two swinging gate clamps engage two front fork tubes and rigidly attach them during service to the bench top vertically.
