some good advice already here so not much to add other than don't worrry about your suspension etc as its just another problem in your mind and you wont be stretching it unless you make mistakes. So don't amke miostakes. As you only have preload to play with I'd only adjust if you find you have too much movement on brakes/acceleration.

Tyre pressures - road rubber? A couple of pounds dropped if warm will be OK. I usually run 30 front 28 back unless using Supercorsa/Racetec then its a bit lower using hot temps.

Listen to the bike, it will give you feedback. If you go in to a corner and find yourself adjusting as you are turning in too quickly then you could have carried more corner speed. If you find you are going out wide on longer bends you may be getting on the accelerator too early. Just feel the bike and get the lines right. Make small adjustments only!

Do the sighting laps, do the first session to really find out where the corners are, then get an instructor to go out with you and show you where the real turn in, apex and exit points are. If it's your first time you'll shave 10 seconds off just by beiong smooth and accurate.

Have fun, breath, smile and drink water. Job done
