900 Showa forks

Just rebuilt the ss after a shunt last year. One seal was leaking so stripped em down and re fit seals. re filled with fork oil from Hein Gerick. I dont know if this was a mistake cause I know it says in the manual to use Showa fork oil. The front end bounces around so much that I have had to back off the preload and damping to minimum just to stay on the thing. HELP!!! Is the oil type really that critical??
