No the 06 SID....
is not similar enough to the 09 to use the same service guide. What you need is to download the 09 Tenchnical Manual. Rock Shox quit publishing individual service guides in 07. The reason being is, RS forks use many of the same components, and require the same procedures for service. So they publish one Tech Manual to cover all their forks. Easier and cheaper. That doesn't mean the the service required for a SID will be exactly the same as for a Reba for instance. There are differences. But those differences are noted and covered in the manual. The idea is the service for a Motion Control damper is the same for a Reba as it is for a Revelation, lowers are removed and installed in the same way for all forks and so on. For maintenance schedules you'll need the generic owners manual that comes with the fork new, or can be downloaded on the RS website.
For the Owner's Manual, go here: http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/view.php?catID=1&subcatID=9 . The one you'll need is listed under "Product Manauls" and is the second one of the two listed. It's simply an OM that covers 09 and 10 forks.
For the Tech Manual go here: http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/tech_manuals.php . The 09 manual is the 13th one down. It covers all generic fork maintenance, and specific maintenance that your fork may require. It pays to know your exact fork model, what it uses for a damper, etc.
As to what you should do to your fork, that's up to you. If you've got over 100 hrs on it then a full service, cleaning, oil change and inspection is in order. As long as the fork isn't leaking oil, air, etc. then it's doubtful you'd need to repalce the seals, but it wouldn't hurt anything to do so either. Seals to wear out, and they usually fail at the most inoportune times. I would deffinately replace the air seals if you have the time on the fork. Those are the most critical. You can blow a damper seal and still ride out. But blow an air seal and you walk. Also it wouldn't hurt to do a full on seal replacement if you bought the fork used as well. Your call though.
