    I've a six month old bike with just under 3k road only miles on it. I found myself the other day being able to sit on the bike and have both feet flat on the floor.
    The bike has decided it wants to be 75mm lower than it used to a few days earlier. There are no visable leaks on the shock.
    Is this a shock failure, or has the spring lost its strength ? It still has damping but never fully returns to the top of its travel like it used to.

    Popped into my supplying dealer today who looked at the bike and ordered a new shock under warranty from Honda.
    Thanks Via-Moto.

    Did the replacement shock fix the issue?
