5w? what weight comes in it stock? ok, quick search revealed a post that says 10w. why would you go lighter than stock? sounds risky to me... gaiters just keep dust off right? they aren't like springs are they? having given it more thought... as bad as many people's front tires scallop with the stock 10w... if you go with 5w, you may half the life of your front tire too... just thinking out loud. not knocking you. i'm just guessing based on running heavier oil in the race bike...
