    its not that bad to do as long as your careful about putting things back together.

    make sure to replace the fork seals while your in there. you can go thicker oil and change springs around, ask one of those ships listed and they can guide you in the right direction as far as spring rates and oil viscosity go. you will also need to clean EVERYTHING well and be careful measuring the amount of fluid you put back in. you cant just dump the oil out, youve gotta disassemble it all and clean.

    An experienced tech can easily do this. get a r6 manual from the forums and it will help loads. good luck!
