It depends - how does the bike ride right now? Are you riding high, low, topping out, bottoming out? Diving under braking? How old is the oil? What is the oil height?


Oil weight selection is facet of the suspension tuning process. You can't simply ask, "Will this help me?" without first determining if something is wrong!
