Static and rider sag?

Any tips on rider sag for setting up preload?? Just had new springs, oil and damper valves fitted to the front forks by Teknik Motorsport and a new Yacugar rear shock.
Had a search but can't find sag measurements in the manual or in the forum using search. Rear travel is 200 and front 210 so using the 1/3 rule I would guess a starting point for rider sag to be about 70mm from full droop... Any other recommendations??

Once I have this sorted I can then start playing with rebound dampening on the new rear.

Only got a week to get everything sorted after heaps of maintenance...
New suspension
Grease swing arm
Cush hub 21mm bearing and new cush rubbers ($44 genuine from yamaha)
Tusk folding rear brake toe and brake snake
YZF front guard/fender
New wheel bearings
Modified db 1/2 killer for the Barrett single
Spot tracker mounted
All this prior to a three-day ride on the 19th -21st MOA- Kalbarri- Perth if interested prob about 1500 km 40/60 dirt bitumen.
