Mike (I feel comfortable using your name now 
),
Thanks a million for your info. I thought (hoped) I was probably going to be in the clear.
Whilst not being a total novice, I am still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to bike maintenance so it's always good to get some reassurance from somebody with a much oilier rag than my own. :lol
I checked out the link you posted and surprisingly, it looks like something I'd be able to tackle in the future if required, so thanks for that too.
I'll take the bike out tomorrow and see how it feels. Unless there is something obviously wrong, I'm very much steering towards "if it ain't broke....." in relation to opening up the forks, for now
I only bought it a month or so ago from a main dealer (albeit Honda) and it was serviced and MOT'd before collection so I'm as confident as you can be in relation to an imminent problem.
Finally, I particularly liked your pithy analysis of Yamaha's 17 adjustment settings..... on, off, somewhere in the middle.
There's probably a fork designer in Shizuoka saying, "I don't know why I fwippin bovva!"

The fact that you can, doesn't always mean you should.
