Best bang for the buck is to have your sag set for your weight; with leathers on.

While your buddy may know a bit about suspension...a pro will definitely know more and will probably be able to set up your bike better. With 26K miles I'd at least flush the fork fluid. Also, at 201 pounds while getting new fluid you could get some stiffer springs better suited for your weight. Other than the fluid and the springs, the OEM forks should work fine for your first few trackdays. Check your seals as well.

OEM = original equipment manufacturer
This relates to changing parts not adjusting settings.

...and springs for your weight.
Change the spring on the rear shock to suit your weight.
That is as good as you are going to get if you are on a budget.
