Fork oil 15w
#1
Going to replace stock 5w with 15w in the forks... Found some guides

DIY How to Replace Motorcycle Fork Oil Yamaha FZ6…: http://youtu.be/zll8jjdi9XA
How to change fork seals in traditional (right wa…: http://youtu.be/0TCYIEcDcts
And a link  on focuk that doesn't have the pics

Looking for some ideas tips but the above either miss out tips n hints, or the methods differ slightly,  or the images are missing...
Tips like how to get the rod out, get right oil level, order of bolt removal....

Does anyone have a link to a 101 for a fzs

Rather bemusing... For fork oil change, The Haynes manual says refer to chapter 1, chapter 1 says refer to chapter 6. But I guess you just miss out some (unknown) steps although I have had bad experiences with Haynes as the odd thing gets left out or wrong order

Oh,and what will 15w give me over 5w. My commute is through B roads and country lanes, if that matters. My firms don't bottom out and roads are very uneven and potty and scarred tarmac, so, should I sick with 5w. The fork oil hasn't been changed in 17k according to previous owner

Cheers
