Fork Oil, 05 Reg, FZS !000
#2
There's a design fault inside the forks which causes rubbing metal surfaces to wear. The particles end up in the fork oil and get distributed all around the fork innards, causing even more wear.  Anyone who has changed the fork oil a couple of times or more will confirm: how much it stinks and how quickly it turns black.
That's a long-winded way of saying yes, change the fork oil asap  :lol
5W is about right, 10W viscosity is too thick for the crude damping action.  I'm currently using 7.5W but my fork internals aren't standard
