The leftside looked completely knackered like a Defender 90 oil change the right side looked fine!

  I am not too concerned but thought i should throw it out there in case there is a fault that could cause this?

Not sure about the disperaty between the two sides.  Perhaps the one side was contaminated when filled.

How easy was it to change the oil?  Did you remove the forks?

Cheers

Mark, Just did mine today and guess what one leg has red oil the other has browny grey (not discoloured red) Also checked the levels and they were different. I bought mine before its 12000 service and didn't bother changing it at that service but can't beleive it left the factory like it.
I\'m immortal..........well so far!!!
