[#10003184]

I put my nice bike away for winter and on recommission have noticed that the shock takes 8 pumps before it locks out.

Before it was instant.

Is this a sign that something is about to fail?

More info might help, what kind of Monarch? What kind of lock out (remote, lever, hydraulic?)

8 pumps? Cycling the shock? Pushing the remote lever?

It's a monarch debonair rt on an 2016 anthem.

I have to cycle the shock 8 times before it locks out.

Is that a shop job?

Bike is still under warranty.

I had this, sent back under warranty

SRAM told me it was full of water & I must have jet washed it, I hadn't ,just ridden it thru a UK winter, cleaned with bucket & sponge at best, most of the time I just brush down when the muds dried !

If its under warranty I would go down that route first, that way if the shaft is scored they might replace it.
