Download a base map at dynojet/power commander website. That will provide you with a baseline to start that is an improvement on stock. Autotune module or dyno tune is still ultimately recommended to get the most out of your set up. You're looking to smoothen out the powerband and provide linear power delivery.

Brake dive is from a combination of things. Bring your bike to a shop informed in setting up suspension and have them properly set up your bike to your rider weight with gear.
Make sure your bike is properly sprung for your weight. Racetech's website will tell you what your stock spring rates are if you look up the model, make and year of your bike. Check if your stock fork springs are sprung too lightly for you.

your stock springs are .7kg/mm stock, use the spring rate calculator in the link to see what racetech recommends, remember it is calculated using your weight with gear
When was the last time your fork fluids were replaced, worn out fluids will not provide properly suspension functionality when travelling through the valves. At this point if you have to go this far, I would just do this step and the above step together (if your stock forks are indeed too softly sprung for you). Be sure to replace the fork seals and dust boots while you have everything disassembled. The fork seals and dust boots are $60-80 in parts, majority of the money is going to be spent on labor at this point. Don't want to reuse old seals (most likely you still have the original seals and dust boot) only to have them leak in the next while. The rubber on the oil seals and dust boots get old over time which result in drying and cracking.
