2007 GS fork oil weight?

[jacksdad63]

Hi, my 2007 1200GS has just blown a fork seal, got the seals and dust caps ordered, but what weight oil should I use and how much?
I'm 83Kg or 182lb in mercan money, solo rider, the bikes got good Ohlins shocks fitted, thinking 10W ?
Thanks again, Mike

I think it’s purely for lubrication and doesn’t have a damping effect.

Workshop manual says 10

But as dicktheleg says, since they're not suspension, the oil weight will not have the same influence as on a conventional telescopic fork - so yea, it's 95% just lubrication

Thanks peeps. I've got a litre of 7.5, and about 500ml of 20W Silkolene leftovers, I think I need 650ml per leg, so I can just about make up enough 10W
