I stuck a pair of the lovely Ohlins springs in the front and kept the oil the same so as to change one thing at a time.
I'm now ready to change the oil for something thicker.
Anyone got any experience of this and any advice/tips etc.

Ta much, Fluke

I've got Ohlins linear springs 9kg/mm in my fork. I use Denicol fork-oil sae5 400cc in each leg.. If i have more quantity of oil the more suffer for the o-rings after hard touchdowns when wheeling. After winter i'll change the fork oil and try something thicker as sae 7,5 Ohlins or WP. For the oil's quantity in the legs i'll let my mechanic to decide.
If you aren't heavy let it as soft as possible.

At first I thought you were mental, then I realised you write very good English for someone from Athens.
Efharisto for your help. I'll post again when I've got the forks redone.
