Make them both identical, (that's why the lines are there) and use a good fitting spanner so as not to mark the soft aluminium.

Mmm excuse me. I'm pretty sure you are mistaken. as preload is just that, loads or unloads the tension on the fork springs there fore making it stiffer or softer. All thou there is a lot more going on in rebound and compression, but yes, for all means set your sag, every one should do this, makes a lot of differences in how your bike acts. unfortunately this is where the VFR falls short, not a whole lot of adjustability here. One might even consider changing fork springs, as IMO Honda installed ones that are way to light. Hence reason why I did what I have. Back to sag setting, It'll take a few hands, but pretty straight forward of an adjustment, then you'll need to do the rear shock as well as they both work together. lots of info on the inter-net, so I'll leave the details to you to understand, or, hit up a track and find a suspension tuner, most love to do this set up,
