And, take pictures. Digital is relatively FREE, so click away.
Spanner wrenches are your friend.
Go buy a Haynes or Clymer Service Manual - they will have stock settings in them that can get it to stock. Then, work from there. By work, I mean... it will be a work in progress until you get it where you like it. Personally, I don't care much for stock settings, I like to be able to feel the pavement.
I've learned the most from watching Roger (my suspension guy) at the track - most welcome questions and will let you watch what they do. He charges $30-$40 per bike... clicks away on it, go ride... clicks again, go ride... lather rinse repeat until it's where you want it. Be aware, each time you change something the bike may respond vastly different than it did before. Ride accordingly.
