Fork oil change
:lol: I had to drill one and buy a slide hammer to shift it, that's after a rebuild the year before!! I remember sending one, when I was restoring the bike, to local engineers who had to lathe the plug thin to get out the spring. The foreman told me, the operator was banging the fork down to push out the plug and visually checked every time to see how much it moved. the last time he looked the spring wasn't there and as he looked around, the spring hit him on the head. must have shot 30 feet in the air and took a few seconds to land best £20 I've ever spent

just need to check the jet sizes as they even differed over the 400 range! to all intents and purposes, they are the same carbs as 400. i listed the jet sizes in this forum somewhere

Fork oil change
might have to whack it down as sometimes it gets a little rusty. get a partner (the wife) to pick out that thin, stupid, piddling, little bleedin' circlip which pings across the freekin garage and take fookin ages to find. put some copper slip in there before reinserting. and ALWAYS use yamaha O ring in there, as normal O rings are not the same size, then the top cap won't blow off under hard braking and get lost in the middle of no-where and you'll have to ride home with soggy suspension!!!!
