Help with setting up suspension

hey, im pretty new to the world of motorcycles.. i just picked up an 06 zx636 a week ago, and i want to set up my suspension, i read the sticky on tuning suspension, and some recomended settings, but i can't make sense of them.. exactly what does everything mean?? for example..

"front preload 3 lines showing
front rebound 2.5 turns out from full stiff
front compression 1.5 turns out from full stiff"

which way is full stiff??? how do i set rebound and compression??? front and rear... and what lines?? im really good when it comes to cars, but all this is new stuff to me.....

and if any one wants to help out with some starting settings for me to work with... im about 6'0" 230 (on my way down to 220, how would the settings change with less weight?) sorry for all the questions... and thanks for the help in advance.
