Hi mate, yep 10 stone's not heavy, you shouldn't be giving the suspension a hard time, I'm less than that mind you, light is good as I can get more speed outta anything! The preload adjusters have not got thread visible as they move inside the fork leg cap, there are horizontal graduation lines on them, maybe 8 or so tho' without looking I can't say exactly, is like the chain adjusters' marks on the swingarm, and wound out they'd protrude prehaps 30-40mm from the fork cap top, can't be fully removed as there's a split pin inside to stop that, if preload's wound all the way in then I'd say wind it out maybe so 4 lines are showing, like I said they're not oversprung by any means, the preload doesn't do a great deal in reality on a softish spring.
See what happens with the cable tie, I'd say by what you've just said that it might be the oil's old, could be original, so like water, no damping left in that, so may well be just new oil required.
