Question Fork oil 2007 DR650se

Hi
can anyone tell me what weight oil come's as standerd in the DR forks, i wanted to stiffern mine a bit by using 15 weight as the bike is a little soft on the front end under heavy braking when loaded. I'm interested in any recomendations on changing the front fork springs. Cheers Skip

The manual says 10 wt fork oil. And 565ml in each leg.

It also says something about using a special tool to then measure the ol height in each leg, but I just dropped 565ml in and it has been fine so far.
