Can i just point something out to you that i've clocked in your video.
Your profile says you have an 00/01 Fazer which has the upgraded forks with adjusters on, the same bike as mine.
But you say in your video you've put 475ml of oil in with a 121mm air gap.
If you check the manual you should have only put 465ml with a 132mm air gap, because the adjusters take up more space in the fork legs.
You've described the oil change for a 98/99 bike that doesn't have adjusters.
I s'pose it won't hurt, but having too much of the thicker oil will probably make it feel pretty damn firm up front i'd imagine?
The reason i noticed is because i have the older forks on my bike and 2 oil changes ago i did the opposite and didn't put enough oil in because i was reading the manual for the year of my bike, rather than the year of the forks, which caused bad handling and a wobbly feeling at low speed!
