G'day Chris and welcome to the club.
Congrats on the great bike choice (I'm an ex Laverda man too - SF750)
1st up, there are gonna be a stack of people tell you that you need to replace the springs on your bike because of your weight. They may be right.
However, I suggest that seeing as it is relatively new, that you just tighten the whole show up a couple of clicks on the front and back and see how you go.
The instructions in the handbook are pretty good for a start.
Leave your tyre pressures at 42psi front and back.
You may want to wind down the rear preload a couple of turns before you start playing with the other settings (I mean shorten the spring).
If you have the money to spend on new shockies front and back - see an expert.
A little adjustment goes a long way on the busa - so you may find a good setting on the stock bits.
