you may want to try stiffer springs, oil only really helps dampening(cept in marz forks where the oil hight helps to stop bottoming at the end of the stroke), though at 65kgs the stock springs should be easily stiff enough for racing.

I'm almost the same weight as you and I run the stock oil weight. Get some heavier springs to stop the bottom out (they should come stock with some options). If you need something I might be able to help you out. Email me and I might cash in the spares I have at home. Change the springs one leg at a time.
Cheers.

It will, marginally, but on the other hand you won't bottom it as much... it's all a compromise, take your pick :)

im running 03 boxxers, with one soft and one medium spring with 2 preload spacers, and pretty mcuh stock oil weights and heights and im 67 kg, id be thinking you should over haul your forks and put the same weight oil in there and see how it rides after its got some oil thats not clogged with shit.
