Lol my toy.what happened to yours mine got blown over in the wind. No damage to forks apart from couple small marks on chrome leg now it's leaking fork oil..
No damage I just want to fit a right leg cartridge in the useless left leg. I've fitted progressive springs and 15w oil which has improved the handling and not wanting to spend a zillion pounds on Ohlins, maxton, andreani etc, see it as a cheaper solution to balancing the front end. It can be done there's a guy on the FZ09 forum, I think he's in NZ and he's done it, plug and play[emoji41]

Ask your dealer to buy a brand new !
In Greece the price for every front fork leg (with all its internals) is selling from Yamaha for 220euros.. So, in UK it may cost about 170-180pounds..

Hi mate
why did you go for 15w oil?
I'd been recommended 7.5 or 5.
I'm about to put Ohlins springs in so I'm very curious

Been to dealer and none in stock at yamaha uk or yamaha Japan .
It was supplied with the springs and I asked my spanner man which was the best to fit, 10w or 15w and we went for the 15w since all the work was being done in one leg. If I get another right cartridge for the left leg I'll prolly drop back to 10w but at the mo it feels fine, much less dive and controlled rebound, and the damping screw actually makes a difference unlike with the standard pissy oil it had in before.

This site has prices for the fork internals but at £195.91 plus vat just for the fork cap it ain't gonna happen. I'll wait to see if a scrapper has one available.
