Default 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.

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
