DHX air loss

is this from the main air chamber or boost valve? it could be from attaching the air pump, some air from the shox will have to go into the pump to give a pressure reading. and hence a drop in pressure. does it drop 40psi when you check the reading straight after?
Which chamber are you talking about? main or boost?
If it's the main air chamber, you can service it yourself - find the online manual on foxracingshox.com and order an air sleeve service kit, should be relatively cheap. You should get seals, and a float fluid pillow pack.
If it's the boost chamber it'll need to go in for a rebuild, unless you can rebuild yourself - probably just involve replacing the o-rings on the piggy endcap and/or valve core.
Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I thought only the float had the air sleeve? This is a coil dhx. Your probably thinking its is the air, sorry I didnt specify. If I can do it myself and it doesnt void the warranty I definately want to so I dont have to ride on my blown 5th while Fox takes half the season to fix it.
did u run the pressure too low. i heard that if u run under a certain amount the oil can go into the air valve and fox will have to fix it. i guess if the oil can go into the air the air can more into the oil?
