Right well my shock has expelled all of it's oil again tonight, so I'd like to upgrade to an RP23.

What compression and rebound tunes should I be looking to run on a 2005 Orange 5, rider weight of 90kgs in gear if it matters.

My 2007 has low compression, medium rebound, though they did increase compression shortly after (factory testers reckoned low was better, but customers wanted more), hope that helps.

You could always contact either Mojo or TFTuned to purchase the shock from them and you can then get them to custom tune it for your specific requirements. I have always used Mojo for servicing etc but if I was going down this avenue I would probably go with TFTuned as its a more thorough custom upgrade as they will 'Push' it for you, so more specific to the bike, your weight and the style of riding you do. Next service I have done on my RP23 will be through TFTuned to get it Pushed.

Godzilla or creamegg - I'd be very interested in either of your rp23's if you still have them, email in profile.
Cheers,
Steve

i spoke to tft about shock tunes and they said effectively that it makes little to know difference.

I'd put a coil on that instead of the RP23.
Makes a massive difference.
