Lighter oil will probably be making the situation better rather than worse as it will be going through the damping adjusters much more freely than a heavier oil. I would give K-Tech a call or drop them an email and ask their advice they are normally happy to help - http://www.ktechsuspension.com/contact.
The oil was already in there - still fairly fresh from the previous 'RavenRider' fork mod that I carried out about 6 months ago.Anyway, after this evening's sortie, the 0.95 springs appear to be a little too firm / harsh for my lightweight form (13 stone inc. gear)...unless it's the thin oil causing the issues. Which it might be, considering Racetech & Traxxion charts indicate this spring rate is close to optimum (for me) :\
Not sure now whether to plump for 0.9, 0.85 or just compromise with Hyperpro progressive springs...
