Default forks feel sticky

hi guys,
the forks on my '00 ec 300 (i think WP) got some new oil recently.
but when i put myself on the bike, the forks won't really sag.(was the same before i swapped the oil)
i didn't put thicker oil in, just 5W.
i allready took the preload washers out.
to make them sag, i hold the front brake in and then push forward and then i can compress them but feel somewhat sticky.
didn't really overtighten the clamps.
forks should be straight,don't look busted.
when riding it's pretty puch ok, but i suppose forks should work softly without sticking,right?

anyone have an idea?

thanks, hannes.
