Glad that sorted it. :thumbup
As for fork oil, it's always a tricky compromise between a compliant ride and a wallowy one. What works best for you depends on the nature of the road, your riding style and how heavily laden the bike is. I'm skinny and travel light so found 10W to give a stiff enough ride that the bike remains controllable around the weird lumpy roundabouts in my area at the expense of horrible jarring sensations over the potholes. :lol
The ideal solution would be cartridge forks. I'm still tempted by kebab19's modification, but it's not reversible... might give it a shot if I can get a spare set of fork lowers cheaply.
