fork question
after just changeing my fork oil and seals i am not very happy how the forks/frontend are over rocks it seems to get kicked offline/unsettled in rough terrain now!! i used 5wt oil set at 110 mm from top and have sucked a further 30ml of oil out now so dont no the exact height now prob around 120mm from top but still not happy! the compression ive tryed from 10 - 18 clicks out before it was at 14 and rebound now at about 12 (havent played with rebound yet.)
should i try 2.5wt oil?? and at 130mm from top?? what else could make it go from excellent with old fork oil in the rocks to bad with new oil im confussed i thought theyd feel better byb the way im 65kg

use stock 7.5 wt oil. The '05-'06 fork have to little high speed rebound, which is controlled by valving, not clickers. By using 5wt oil it'll be even worse.

but it seems like it has less rebound (slower) than before i changed the oil and it was good before.

update i changed my forkoil again i used motul 2.5wt at 130mm from top result alot plusher over rocks but still not bottoming too much (im 65kg)
1st race of the season = 5wt oil at 120mm from top position 28th out of 105 riders, changed fork oil race #2 15th out of 125 (3rd clubman) yay my bike is handleing normal again. its weird that 2.5wt oil felt more like std that 5wt oil that is recomended
