Suspension is a very dark art so to speak, but the parameter's set out in the Ohlins sheet is basically suspension gospel, because if your static sags do not sit between the recommended parameter's then your spring needs changing to a harder or softer spring depending on what the measurement's are.
If it is new suspension to you, then a basic static sag test is a must, otherwise the bike will never be pleasure to ride, if in doubt and you don't fancy doing it your self, look up a local suspension expert and go visit them.
