Guys....it's embarrassing but I'm going to have to confess that it appears as though I wasn't putting the pork back together in the right order....
I was sure I noted how everything went when taking it apart but I had the damper in the very bottom part of the fork, rather then protruding into the bottom from the bottom of the slider. This obviously caused the the slider to rest on the damper making the overall length of the fork longer meaning that the 475ml of oil didn't reach as far up the tube as it should :'(
I finally got round to taking the whole thing apart again and after studying the exploded diagram in the Yamaha service manual (not the crap Haynes one) I figured out how it's meant to go together.
She's back up and running now so all is good.
Thanks so much for your suggestions, unfortunately me being inexperienced when it comes to suspension didn't seem like the problem at the time -_-
