I have seen them heavier before, and I think my sps ones were 1.1kg, just not listed for 848/1098

any 1098 rider wanna swap - they come std with 1.0kg!

Ohlins do a 08761-05
which is 1.05kg/mm

You need a tool to compress the preload spacer so that you can get in and undo the lock nut so that the fork tops can be unscrewed from the damper rod.
Best left to somebody that knows what they are doing and has the tools as the PDF also suggests a oillevel to get the correct air gap.
I bet there is a mechanic at Snells that could do it or Moo Rapido
