Depends. Were the forks too soft for you with 5w in? Are you a fly weight or a lard ass? New springs or the OE ones?

If you're on OE springs and a fly weight I'd recommend OE spec fluid unless you find it too soft, in which case I'd go from 5w to 7.5w. If you're a lard ass, go for 10w.

Of course, you may just be masking the fact that the OE springs are past their best.....
