Bigk,
I tend to run heavier than 10wt, but depending on the springs you are using.
I recently upgraded my fork springs to a heavier set, and had to throw 20wt in as there is not enough dampening, used the standard measure.
From 81 250 manual fyi :

Thanks Adrain, no doubt there will be some adjusting to be done, but at least now I have a starting point.
