Personaly id put the setting's back to stock factory set up.

Then do one adjustment at a time.

Normaly set up your front end preload then damping rebound and ompresion settings untill it steers nicley then do the rear. Once its all nice to ride and handles/steers as you like it go for finer tunning untill its spot on.

Don't forget to make sure you have newish tyres at the correct pressure before you start.

Problem is every rider rides differntly, with a differnt load. There isnt a perfect setting for every rider to share, if there was every manufactuter would set up all there bikes to that setting and that would be that.

Theres some good books out there, far cheeper than paying a man with a screwdriver to twist a few screws. Just remember heres always the factory defult settings if it dosnt feel right.

I'm with Stuie on this, go back to standard and start again from there.

As a serial suspension fiddler I learned a few years back that it's easy get everything out of sync. I was convinced my shock was on the way out but a wiser head told me to put it back to standard first.

I did and it was fine.
