Hey guys I just picked up an 06 fuel ex8 for my son as his first FS bike. Bike is good shape just needed a little tlc and the price was right. Anyhow anyone out the have any info on setting up the suspension. It has a Rockshox Reba race with the poploc on the bars. and the rear was updated to a newer Monarch at Marties 3 years ago.
Unfortunately Treks website does not go back to 06 and it 07 the bike got a redesign with all Fox Suspension so I am not finding anything on the net for an 06.
Even if someone can point me in the right direction it would be appricated.
Thanks..

Good starting point: 1:1 weight in PSI in the shock, 1/2 that in the fork (modern, high pressure suspension, don't do that with old stuff).

Loosely attach a zip tie around one stanchion in front and the stanchion in the rear, sit kid on bike, adjust pressure until 1/4-1/3 of the travel is used sitting on it.
