Where can i find the correct suspension set up chart? I was told the chart in the 08 manual is incorrect.

Start with this...I liked using this instead of the manual.

There is no correct suspension setup if you are under 150 lbs.

I was stoked when on the CR the chart went above 225! (currently about 253...)

The 08 owners manual is correct if you have an 08 machine. the service manual numbers are for the softer springs on the late 08s and 09s. the compression numbers are a bit stiff though IMO.

I have been curious what the bikes come from a dealer set at? Does it vary. How do I determine how its set now.

I watched as a tech set up my suspension at the dealer. A good dealer should ask you how much you weigh, and how much you riding gear weighs.

He mentioned that they seem to come from the factory set up for a 150 lb rider.

Not all dealers set it up, so they are often delivered to the buyer with the factory settings. Factory settings aren't setup either. One fork can be set one way, the other another way, and the rear suspension its own way. You don't determine what its set to now, you just reset it and start from scratch : )
