I currently have an air gap of 140mm and I use 5w fluid. The tie wrap was about perfect at the end of he season. However I had a dead right hand after only five laps due to virbration and a leaking fork seal so I'm very interested in seeing how much fluid is in each individual forks when they are serviced shortly. New seals are a definite!

Im surprised you had a leaking seal in such a short time Simon, & there must be something amiss to cause the vibration, I'll be interested to know what you find.
