I'm putting a set of BBR aftermarket springs in my son's TTR 125L and
according to the Yamaha manual it seems pretty straightforward with
only the cap bolts and retainers needing to be removed to get the
springs out except for one  thing. The TTR doesn't seem to have any
fork oil drain plugs to empty it. I presume the Dampener bolt in the
bottom of the fork can be loosened to drain it but I was concerned I
would not be able to hold it from moving without a "special Yamaha
dampener retaining tool".  I sure would appreciate anybody with any
experience with this posting a reply.
                   Thanks RW

Just pop the caps off, pull the existing springs and spacers out and
replace with the new springs.  Don't even worry about the oil until
you've tried them out and then adjust the level as needed.
