Cool, good luck with it. Mine went quite smoothly, the only thing I had a real problem with was the damper rods turning as I tried to undo the bolts. I ended up holding them with a length of scrap wood hammered into the top. Are you replacing the copper washers on the bolts or reusing the old ones? They recommend replacing them but they're silly expensive from Mr Yamaha. I bought new ones from Ebay for £1.75 for 10. Have you got a torque wrench cos the bolts aren't quite as tight as you might think the need to be (30Nm)
My mudguard bolts were a twat too and rounded as soon as I showed them a spanner so they're now stainless and copperslipped.
Have fun, I'll be posting an update when I've ridden mine
