	I'm just curious how you arrived at that conclusion. My forks presently
have 1.00 Kg/mm springs and emulators with 2 turns of preload. The original
RaceTech paperwork said 5w oil, which I've heard is a typo. I rode two
RaceTech'd ST's before doing mine and decided on 7w oil, but have since
concluded that's not enough rebound damping. My bike is presently in the shop
for 12k service and I asked them to change the fork oil to 10w to try that, but
may go to 15w depending on your response.

Thanks,
