suspension help nc30

Hi guys, I Rode my first track day yesterday.... awesome fun.
Now I'm looking at the suspension to make sure it is setup right.
First of all, rear shock is standard (modifiedidogbone) and has been recently serviced, front has rick o springs (the stiffer ones if I recall correctly) and it has Chinese stanchions which are slightly longer than standard stanchions (6 mm I think). I weigh about 82 kg with kit.
Front static sag is about 25mm and an extra 10 with me on it.
Rear had minimal to no static sag but about 40mm with me on it (don't have the tool to make any adjustments)
Right front rebound is jammed all the way in
Left is half a turn from fully out to compensate
Rear rebound is 1 turn from fully out
Finally, if I hang the bike from a beam can I remove the cap from the right fork to try and loosen the right rebound adjuster (ie without worrying about oil spilling out) and are there any tricks to removing the aduster
I know it's a mixed bag of questions / comments but I don't think they each deserve their own thread
Thanks
