There are a TON. Just use the search and ask a simple question. You don't need to act like a jerk. I have helped MANY on this board setup their suspensions with countless posts.

Spasm,
As for internet stuff, loads of it, but it tends to be sports bike focussed, but the same rules seem to apply from what I gather, the main point being the sag with rider on board should equal about 1/3rd of travel, although some articles may say 40mm as 90% of sportsbikes have about 120mm of travel.
In most basic terms:
1. Set Pre-load to get sag correct
2. Take notes and play around until you like it
I have poured over all sorts of theory of more rebound gives you this, or helps with that, but I find often on the road it does not seem to go by the book, personally I set Sag and then try to run as soft as I can without wallow on the back, and just bugger around with the front until I either like it, or if I cannot really tell the difference in which case I revert to stock.
You will probably want to wind another line on the pre-load at the back for solo and bang it up to max for two-up, you may be able to get away with less damping for solo use, but depends how you ride, I actually like a slightly soft feeling on this bike (and the GS) whereas on sports bikes I liked them really firm.
The rear is very easy to set as once you have the pre-load in the right place you only have one adjuster to move up and down until you find where you like it, for smooth tarmac you would probably want it a click or two firmer than you would for bumpy back lanes - personally I tend to set mine in the middle rather than change it for the roads, unless I know I am gonna be on smooth tarmac or bumpy lanes for an entire day.
