One thing which I've been wondering though is if there is a particular way of getting the emulators seated properly on the damper rods once the forks are full of oil? perhaps it's just a case of chucking them down the tube and agitating them with the spring? I'm also assuming the oil goes in before the emulators?
[size=1em]If you decided on the YSS emulators (Part Number 310) they are a perfect fit to the top of the FZS600 Damper Rods.
On my 2002-2003 FZS600 Foxeye with the 190 mm Damper Rods, rather than using the air gap method I went the volume of oil method that is 465cc[/size][size=1em] total oil per leg. There is one other thing to take into consideration, that is the amount of oil that is displaced but the emulator being added to the stack. (Stack being Damper rod, emulator, spring, tube spacer and top disk spacer)
The exact amount of oil displaced by the YSS emulator has slipped my mind and I can not find it written down anywhere.
But I do recall how I worked it out.
I half filled a clear, clean drinking glass with hotish water, not boiling and marked the level of the water with a marker pen, be accurate, pop one emulator into the hottish water and with a syringe draw water from the glass and get the level exactly back to where you marked it, the syringe they has graduations marked along its length, you now now exactly how much fluid is displaced by the emulator by reading the amount of water in the syringe. Subtract that from the 465cc that goes in the each leg.[/size]
[size=1em](1998 & 1999 models have 475ml in each leg)
Make sure that each legs is completely devoid of any oil (clean and dry) if using 465cc minus emulator displacement method, or you will not end up with the correct total amount in the leg right.
The reason for using hotish water when finding the emulator displacement is that a quick shake once its out of the water and the warmth of the emulator itself will dry it in a minute or so.

[size=1em]Below is the instruction from YSS.[/size]
[size=1em]I just found the amount displaced by the emulator I had it written in the workshop manual not in a Word Doc on the computer, it is 7.5cc per emulator.[/size]
[size=1em]1cc of fluid is exactly the same as 1ml of fluid, they are the same amount.[/size]
[size=1em]PS: YSS call the 'Damper Rod' the 'Piston Rod' same thing [/size]
