I searched but could not find guidelines for setting the rear shock up for rider + passenger.

My wife loves to ride with me and I'd like to make sure my bike is set up as best as possible. I've learned to check and adjust tire pressure before each of our rides. The resources I've checked so far detail setting preload for the rider, not the passenger (owners manual, service manual, online guides, Ninjette.org search). You can probably see where I'm headed with my question.

Is it possible to properly set the rear shock for the two of us? (full gear - I'm 165lbs, she's 130lbs)

I should note we haven't had any problems, it's just that I'm learning more and am ready to start fine tuning/customizing.
