This is exactly what I was trying to tell you, and what @
leed told you in more detail, and more correctly.
Changing oil viscosity did not help much, while adjusting the preload did, becuase, as you said it yourself, the bike is a bit heavy with you on it. Heavier vehicles have stiffer springs. Not necessarily more damping.
forgot to add: We do read your posts. But I had nothing to add, as I never changed my fork seals.
