How does the top triple clamp look like? If it is a straight line design, I have set the forks at 2 rings showing on the inside. Look here:

Rear ride height - do you have thge Ducati tool? If so, center of the axle to top of the ride height tool 253 probably is too much to start off. Iirc my tuner recommended 246 and 3mm are going to make a difference. I will look it up for you though, as I am not 100% sure. This figure comes from the top of my head.
You can try 226mm from the top of the rear sprocket carrier nut to the top of the ride height tool. I am 100% sure about that one. See if that equals the center of the nut recommendation.
That should work for a start. Remember: suspension is a very personal thing (no not like a girlīs first monthlies or such). I tried the DOS/S8SBK settings 2 years ago and disliked them. If I were you Iīd start with 2 lines showing at the front fork and the 226mm recommendation in the rear and go from there. More rear ride height is going to make it quicker on turn in and less stable. Less ride height will give you more rear traction but less turn in. At least thatīs what I have learned from my own experience.
Please keep in mind, that I am just a user and no suspension tuner by trade. I am still in the long process of learning and trying out this new setup. I hope it can work as a starting point for you, to get you into the ballpark.
If you have any further questions, just post them up.
