Did your bike come with a manual? If it's like all the other ktms, those answers are in the manual

at 140 pounds and not riding moto the bike it most likely WAY over spring for your weight. At this point I would send the suspension out to a suspension tuner and have them make the adjustments. They will give you recommended settings based on how they set the suspension up.

I would set the sag at 105-108 to start. I can't recall what the spring rate is for these bikes, but I'm around 195lbs and went up 3 spring rates so I would think you could get close at your weight. For the fork I like to run 136psi. It is a little soft on bigger jumps, but seems to be the sweet spot for me. Before mine was re-valved I think I went a couple clicks softer on the fork and shock for riding off-road, but moto I was running it stock and thought it worked well.

If you are getting it re-valved they will give you the settings like someone already said, but getting your sag right is really the most important to start with.

I have an 18 but to start with I would simply set the sag(I like 103). All my clickers are stock but adding rebound to the rear will help if braking bumps are kicking the rear getting into corners.

My son rides intermediate MX on a 2018 350 SXF, but only weighs 130 pounds. Likely with your weight but less aggressive usage you'll be pretty close to him.
For the forks, try 130# of pressure. Turn your compression clicker all the way in, then back it out 15 clicks. For rebound start with 20 clicks.
You should be using a 4.1 kg on the rear (stock is 4.3), but I don't think anyone in the aftermarket makes a 4.1, just a 4.0 or 4.2. Personally I'd try setting the sag at 105mm, adjust the clickers and see what you think. The spring rate isn't that far off... For rear compression try 17 clicks, high speed compression 2.5 turns, and rebound at 17 clicks.

For the fork- start out with 130 psi, and use the o-ring on the fork to keep track of how much travel you're using. If you never get within an inch of bottoming out, drop the pressure in 3 lb increments until you're using most of the travel. The more mellow your type of riding the less pressure you'll end up using. Should you end up at something like 120 psi then I'd say a softer than stock rear spring is most definitely needed as the bike will be really unbalanced.

Don't be afraid to play with the clickers- you can always go back to where it was.

Let's start by paying me to do the damn unit conversion.

Take your suspension to RG3. They're in New Jersey.
