I would have done it 1000km ago. Its just an oil change in the fork. Shocks are probably a send away job depending what you want doing and the shock

Assuming you do 15km an hour that is around the suggested interval 100 hrs for Fox anyway. I stretch mine out a bit keeping stanchions clean and using a few drops Wet Seal lube after washing

I would do a lower service on the Reba immediately. They are notorious for being almost dry on initial assembly. If the rest of the fork is working fine, it can probably wait. Same on the rear shock. You could do an air can service. There are plenty of videos on Youtube.
