Couple of problems I need help with...

How do all.
I have a couple of little probs I need help with, (more if you ask my Missus).
First up; Suspenders!
Can somebody let me know the best way to get my sussies, (front and back), setup properly? I mean either at a track day or at a shop?
Ive found and used the RSV standard settings but to little effect. I figure a spring and oil change is prolly required up front and a full service of the rear shock, but having little or no money at the mo I'd just like to get things improved.
I think the main problem is that the front end is 'older' than the rear in mileage/use terms and Im not 100% savvy enough to compensate the settings to get the proper 'balance', if that makes sense?
I live close to Croft Circuit, so if anyone happens to be going, (weekend or Friday afternoons only), fer a track day and knows a sussie-sorter who is also gonna be there; Please let me know!
I also need to know costs and what I might need to bring etc.
I assume its a 'ride in-ride out' kinda thing? What if the shock length needs adjusting?
I cant send anything away to be sorted as she is my only form of transport.
Anybody?
Next up; Vibration!
I mentioned in another thread that the vibration levels have increased a little of late. I think its a sync issue, (its not only on the chain side; Its actually a bit worse on the throttle side), but have wondered wether it could be a camchain problem?
Advice please on my vibe problem as well as how to free the tensioner, (I assume its like most other bikes - A bolt into the rear of the head that you can, with the motor running, 'dynamically' tighten the chain, ie; 'pop' the sprung blade back into place?), and how to sort the sync issue!
Ideally, somebody who lives near to me will have the sync tool and the know-how to use it.... Or know a good shop that can do it cheap, (once Ive eliminated the tensioner that is).
Help!
Im getting bad pins n needles in my right hand after 10 miles!

My mate got it done and was quite pissed off he improved it ten-fold first set of adjustments after spending hours fiddling with settings himself.
