Is this normal. ?

    Is the sag changing, then you measure the pressure? As when you attach a pump, you lose air to the pump, so it will always be lower than before.

    Yeah it ends up with less than 60 psi in

    Had to stop the other day and pump it back up .lucky I had my shox pump.

    Shox is less than 6 months old mind it does get a 16stone hammering at least once a week. Forks are fine and pressure is constant

    Sounds like it needs new air seals. I'd contact the retailer, sounds like it might be faulty.

    so it has exactly the same pressure in it every time you connect the shock.
