if traxxion rods are used than oil weight can be thinner (10W).
with stock rods you end up with 15 or 20 oil.
thinner oil is better due to less sensitivity to outside temperature.
btw. I have set of used .80 springs and set of new traxxion rods I would like to sell.
however .80 may be little light for 170# rider. I would use at least .85 for street or .90 for aggressive or track riding.
