    Hi. Im about to change fork oil on my 06 blade. The manual advises to use 10w but i was thinking of using 15w to make the standard forks a bit stiffer. What do you thing about my idea? Has anybody else done it.
    I should ad that I mostly use my bike for trackday and Im going to almeria with fe over easter.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I always keep oil all the same so did brooks suspension when they fitted my internals just used a better oil . There is enough adjustability in the forks to counter the weight of oils
