Standard is 10w, 15 will firm up the ride. If you are say 12 stone I'd say 10 is fine. Otoh, if you go for Hagon progressive springs, the fork oil they put in their kit is 7.5w...

PS 4000 miles ! Should be a top bike.

thanks went for 10w opei oils said use that.
I oderd then checked on here and 15w may have been better.But still least its better than it leaking from seal.

Having new 10W fork oil will still be a lot better than the ancient stuff that was in there before.... you *should* change it every year or two so you can always try 15W next time!
