How about for a XT with '02 YZ250 front forks?
I was told on my Yamaha dealer that 2.5w would be enough but I'm a tad skeptical about it... stock YZ front forks are KYB 01 oil... Vando

Usual grade's are between 5 - 10w.
Its not uncommon to go up a bit as damping reduces as kit gets older... Blending (same make/type oil is OK too) if you want 7.5 do 50:50 5 & 10w  The manufactures grade is a guide & a bit of fine tuning by the "rider" is OK.

10w is stock.
I use 20w and it's much better for me, it feels harder, and doesn't bottom out when i land incorrect.

Uhm.. I think I'm going to return the oil and get some 10w...
haven't opened it yet because I was waiting to get some loctite to do the seals...so it should be fine for a replacement... Thank all of you for your help! Vando
