Make sure you get the oil level correct.
The forks without adjusters on the top take more oil than ones that do have them.
The air gap is the easier way to get the equal levels right on both sides.
I personally prefer 15W fork oil instead of the standard 10W, i found it a lot more stable.
98/99 models (without fork adjusters on top):
475cc oil 121mm air gap
00-03 models (with fork adjusters on top):
465cc oil 132mm air gap
My bike is a 2000 model but i swapped my forks with earlier model ones without the adjusters, so i have to remember to put the correct amount in each time.
