Fork Oil Weight

Just wondering what weight everybody is using? I need to replace my fork seals and I'm wondering if I should go with the stock 10w or maybe stiffen it up a bit with 15w. I did them six years ago and even shimmed the bushings. Now its time to do them again.

if the front end is sagging/diving excessively then you want to go with heavier springs (rated for your weight) and same weight oil


thicker oil will give the stock forks a harsh ride as it cannot flow thru the damper rod holes as fast as thnner oil.

KOokaloo!
