Thanks for the praise, i do like to invent solutions to problems,,,part of my job,plumber,boiler engineer.
maybe i should patent the design,,spring compressor tools are expensive :rolleyes
Noggy , i found from reading that the original oil is between 2.5w and 5w,,Yamaha's own, different measuring system.
So you could even try a 2.5w if you can find it,,also with 500ml or just under then one bottle will do both forks.
Someone has said 5w in one and 10w in the other,heavier one in compression i guess.
I do like my forks soft,also i am quite a lightweight compared to other riders.if there is travel then set your bike up to use it.
I did 100 miles afterwards yesterday,those roads are very bumpy around Abergavenny,Black mountains,the forks felt too hard set at standard so i shall be out there later and soften the settings.
