As the post says really the bike has been sat in my shed for around 6 wks and I went to Cannock today and realised the forks had hardly any air left.

Is it normal to lose some air? I haven't got a shock pump with me so can't check if there leaking air atm.

Anyone help??

Many forks lost a little air very gradually. Most air forks have a little heavy oil in the air chamber. Eventually this seeps past the piston seal, then the forks increasingly lose pressure. May be time for a service before damage occurs.

Thanks for that they've done around 200 miles with about 100 of them on the trails would that's warrant a service? Recon tk air silver 100mm by the way.
