Racetech recommends 15W. The real way to find out if you like it or not is to try it.

The good news is swapping fork oil is easy. Just open the cap, pour it out, pump the fork a few times to get any more bits of oil out. Refill with different weight. Racetech recommends a 140mm air gap with the fork fully compressed.

Ideally, if you want to get as much fork oil out, you have to completely dissassemble the forks and possibly change out the seals.

I have .70 Sonic Springs with Racetech Emulators with 15W...so far I like it. Ive messed with a lot of settings on my emulators switching between the stiffer yellow springs and softer blue springs. So far my latest setup is blue springs with 5 threads showing on the emulators.
