ride height

I have set the front height at just under the 4th ring on the top of the forks. Mine only has 4 rings, and I thought they had 5!! I am a bit concerned that the distance between the front wheel and radiator/top fairing may be an issue. But, I think I can take it to the lowest ring right?? Also, I guess I will need to firm up the front, as my forks compress to within 1mm of bottoming out under emergency braking!

Questions:
*is it safe to drop to the lowest ring (measured at the lowest point of the ring)
*how much travel should I have left in the forks to be safe/not damage anything
*how much static sag should there be and should it feel 'sticky' when pulled onto the stand

Thanks,
paul
