Just replaced fork oil on 4 year old SVAL7 with Silkolene RSF10 maintain and first ride yesterday ( mind you new Avon Storm 3D tyres as well - so hard to judge 100% ) and bike felt great. Bike is stock suspension setup and I am just over 12 stone. Mind you I go more for comfort ( some of the roads in Shropshire can be shocking with potholes and even ruts ) rather than out and out cutting edge handling ( which would be wasted on me these days ), but I have to say stock setup and 10W is fine for me - and no excessive dive when braking hard.
