You could just ask me :). Stock is set at 305mm most people adjust it to 309mm. I think minimum is 300mm. Problem is it has an attached reservoir and doesn't quite fit under. The 2nd Gen Tuono or RSV (2 cylinder models) are emulsion tube and do fit.
If you set your "race sag" to the amount you are looking for, and you find that you have very little or no "unladed" or "free" sag, that means that the springs are too soft for your weight.

^^^^ What he said.
I used mine for commuting for the past few+ years, and put over 40,000 miles on mine. That feeling of wanting more isn't crazy though and I actually did just recently move to a bigger bike to make my commute a little "more fun" and to also fill in the in-between time when...
You can do it man. Go for it!
Read that thread in full as there's some good information and tricks that aren't listed when I initially posted - both by me and others.
And as the others said, get angled feeler gauges or commit to bending your feeler gauges and being okay with it -- and do...
