Curious what the majority of the folks on here run in their forks on the older E series KDX's.

Mine have seemed pretty "sticky" lately running Bel-Ray 5 weight.

I know many people run a mixture of 10 and 5 to end up with a 7.5 weight but I'm trying to find out what y'all suggest.
THANKS!!

I'd try 7.5 or 10, as 10 is stock. I wouldn't have gone with 5 in damping rod forks.

The folks I bought the bike from recently had their service guy work on it and their records indicated the 5 weight Bel-Ray fork oil.

Would not have been my choice either I doubt.
