    what is the shock? and can you extend it fully?

    well a quick look says it should be a
    Specialized AFR Shock w/ Spike valve, air spring, adj. rebound and low speed compression, 7.875x2.25"

    and 7.875" is just about 200mm so i would say there is nothing wrong and maybe you should measure again.

    the manual says it is 222.5mm which means its approx 27.5mm short i think

    no it is speced with a 200mm shock. the 2006 version had a 225 i2i shock. according to the Spesh site every Enduro SL Expert had a 200 i2i.

    contact your local Spesh dealer for confirmation of the correct i2i.

    the rear shocks on the those bikes are super unreilaible, i got through 2 shocks and 3 forks in the less than 12 months on my enduro carbon before i had enough and demanded a refund! your best bet is send it back to you LBS!
