Had a weeping right hand fork seal so did a oil and seal change today. I have 9.5 kg raceteck springs in the front end with standard valving. I whipped out both forks and changed the seals adding new fork oil. For all you 10 weight oil people I used 5 weight oil , quantity( 500mm )to give a air gap of 85mm. I usually run 95 mm air gap and I have used this set up for a few years and found it tracks great over bumps etc. Food for thought
