NorCal called it; set the sag first and see if the springs will work. No amount of damping adjustment can compensate for the incorrect spring rate. You can make it more livable, but it will never be as good as it could be. Properly tuned suspension is amazing, and it will spoil you for life.

What worked the best for me was googling "motorcycle suspension setup", "setting sag motorcycle", etc. You will also get a lot of hits about bicycle suspension... Anyway, I read everything I could for about a month before I started serious tweaking and investing in aftermarket purchases. Very worthwhile endeavor.
