You might struggle to get that sag value up front, the spring rate is quite low. The rear should be OK for it, with your weight perhaps an extra notch or possibly two from the stock setting. Front preload (i have personally found) varies depending on the tyre choice. After quickly giving up tying to achieve a ~30% rider sag up front I adjusted the front for optimum handling and take whatever sag I get for it.
After setting the rear it is easy to add max front preload and take it out for a spin. Take a screwdriver and keep turning back off that front preload until you get the handling characteristics you prefer around the bends. The less preload you have the quicker it will turn in. I found the OEM tyres slow to turn in and I didn't have much front preload and got it to handle just great. After fitting Bridgestone T31's I was able to add 2-3 lines of front preload back as the bike was a little too sharp. 36/42 was OK for me, I haven't experimented with different pressures really.
