I've recently bought 2 ohlins springs .80 spring rate from ebay.
The seller advised me to use 10w fork oil, rider sag between 35 - 48 and static sag between 25 - 30 mm. What is the sag more exactly? How can I achieve those values?
About the fork oil: now I have a 20W castrol fork oil, made only ~3000 km with it so I wouldn't change it. Also there is a plastic spacer (probably fitted by the ex owner) under de fork caps, I guess to increase preload.
So what do you guys recommend about the fork oil, sag and the spacer?

Thanks!

BTW: on the end of the forks there is this code written: "08657-80/L337".
