Most of what I've read here is where guys changed oil AND springs,Has anyone tried different wts of oil either with stock or aftermarket springs? If so what were the results. I went with sonic springs and 7.5 oil and am thinking of experimenting with different oil wts. I'd like to know how different oil affected ride and handling when it was the ONLY thing that was changed. Thanks

I went from 20wt to 15wt after the fork seal blew... I think I like the 15wt better: less harsh.

Yes... the 15wt is being used with the Hyperpro front springs on my ST1100.
I have not modified the ST1300's front springs... yet...
I know I have too I just haven't ordered the sonic spring set for Chris yet.

Thanks for checking on me Paul!
