Well the bike is 10 years old and has had the MCT work done at some point but I don't have a clue when so couldn't say how old it is? I have some paperwork that came with it and says it was set up for a 90kg rider. I'm 102kgs and I find that it bottoms out if I drive off a low curb even at walking pace so I'm guessing I might want to err on the side of heavier oil?
To be fair it's not set up to my weight at all (as I don't have a clue about doing it) so figure it's worth changing it out then having it set up to see how it feels.
If I'm honest it's awful at the minute, hard over bumps/potholes and light/flighty at speed so doesn't inspire confidence of any kind. That's why I need to get it sorted ASAP but at £140 all in to get the oil changed I wanna do it right first time haha
