What weight of oil for forks

[gas junky]

My boy is 13 riding a EC200. He weighs about 135lbs plus equipment. What weight of oil do you recomend? 5 or 7. He is an aggresive rider and loves jumps. Reason why the seal went in the first place. 50 times off that jump in Debert NS, If you know the area, you know the track.

I quess you have marzzochi forks. I used 7,5W oil 570 ml/ each. Last marzzochi 45 fork I did last week was EC 250F. It was our teams bike that we rented to A rider for last weekens enduro race. I used 7,5 Motorex
(I prefer ohlins oils, but I did't have any 7,5 in our garage).

Less oil les progressivity = softer, but bottoms easier
More oil more progressivity
