I got told as a rough rule to set up the rear suspension on a bike you should:

1- stand the bike upright.
2- measure from the bottom of the number plate to the floor.
3- sit on the bike
4- measure the distance from the bottom of the number plate to the floor

the difference should be around 30mm, if its not then the suspension needs to be tweeked.

(obviously you will need someone to help you do this)
