all i hear is 'little bitccchhh!'

How simple is it to add some oil to forks? i think my fork suspension feels really loose. Aron was saying u just need to add a little and it tightens up a lot. if that's the case, it sounds like a good thing to do to the vtr. squiggs.. u done much fork oil adding/changing? is it expensive and hard to do?

These guys sound like the dogs bollocks (do they deal with rust on the frame or is it easier to just get most of it off yourself?), just need to find somewhere that will paint the tank/plastics then get everything done in one glorious go.

They send the bits off to somewhere else first to get it sandblasted back to bare metal so you don't need to do any prep other than removing this you don't want to be painted/cooked etc.

Yep, #1 & #2 are the dust seals, number 2 being the most important one as you're sure to fook the old one getting it off. The bearings there are koyo and the seals arai

It's not quite that easy but if it hasn't been changed in a while, that can make a big difference.

You should change the oil, it'll almost certainly be well past its use by date

you are probably down on oil and it'll need replacing anyway. It isn't difficult if you've got the right tools
