Sorry to jump on an old thread but I about to try and overhaul the front end of my sons K3.

Have linear 9.0 springs from racetecch and was going to fit YSS PD valves (emulators) but see some say not needed just weld up the small bleed hole on the damper rod?

I have also seen a lot said about fork oil I have Putoline HPX R 10W, that was recommended when i purchases the springs , had no idea fork oil was the wild west!

For a 9.0 linear spring is Putoline 10W going to be to thin? I see most recommend Silkoline RSF 10W as it more like 15W. Should I not use the Putoline or get some 15 or 20 to mix with the 10?
