I've been planning on changing out the front fork oil as the rebound seems to be way to light on damping. I checked the technical manual and it states that the OEM oil for the fork is Yamaha 01 suspension oil. After reading all this:
what weight is yamaha 01 suspension oil? : Yamaha R6 : R6 Forum
And then seeing this:
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA - Lubricants & Grease 01 Suspension Oil
I'm pretty sure that our bikes come with 0wt oil stock. I'm going to increase that up to 5wt as a starting point...
Now here is my big question: Looking at the parts schematic can I just suspend the bike in the air and then drain the oil from the fork with a drain bolt at the bottom of each fork leg? And then refill from the top hex nut cap? Am I looking at this correctly? I'm guessing that I have to remove the axle first to get at the drain bolts...I plan to do one at a time...drain the 0wt and then refill with 16oz or 475mL of 5wt...
Anyone got advise??? Thanks
