The fork oil in any China bikes I've owned has been horrid. Sounds like you overfilled your forks by adding, hence the rock hardness. Pull the forks off and drain them, then add the correct amount of a good fluid. I'm about your size and weight and I like 10W. There's threads here somewhere on changing fork oil and Ive done it myself to all my CB's and may have written something up on that regarding quantity. It's a VAST improvement. Will it compete with your KTM regarding suspension? Not a chance but the Apollo also didn't cost near as much either.
