Know that just because something says it's 5wt, or any weight, doesn't mean that's the actual weight. To truly know you need to find out what the spec of the viscosity at 40c is for proper comparison. The oil I run is 26.1 @ 40c.

I am an old, slower rider. I use KYB 01M fork oil which is approx 15 cst at 40C. I did also do some revalving to obtain less compression (and slightly more rebound) damping. Works very well for me.
