You can get basic instructions about how to set sag:

I'm about 85 kg and stock rear S suspension was too soft for my weight. I added about 10mm of spring preload and now it is better. But it is also at about maximum allowed pre-load now. With some luggage it looks like stiffer spring may be nice to have.
