VERY EASY!!! As long as you have your owners manual.

The first few times I rode mine, It beat the HE!! outa' me. The rear was set properly for my weight(@165), but the front was set for a 200lb rider.

5 mins. alone with the owners manual and a screwdriver, and it was just about perfect!
(that sounds kinda' bad, huh)

tank

(p.s. the hardest part was finding a wrench/socket to fit the front preload adjusters on top of the fork. I used a socket, but others have had success w/a large adjustable wrench. Socket size is 7/8".
