I have an 04 6RR and in the owner's manual it gives the "standard settings for preload, rebound, and compression for an average-build rider of 68kg (150-lb) with no passenger and no accessories".
I checked my settings on the bike to see if they really matched, they were right on.
So I would answer your question as there is some truth to it. Granted some of the setting could have been over looked at the factory, so it's always a good idea when you get a brand new or new to you bike that you go over it - suspsension settings, tightening bolts/screws, checking torque on areas that should be torqued to a certain spec and so forth.
Hope this helps!
