Strange shock behaviour

[nzspokes]

Do not ride the bike untill the shock is fixed or replaced.

If it is as you describe it will cope with normal, Just pogo a lot. On the other hand not very stable at a decent lean or when braking or accelerating hard.
Get it fixed without delay but if you have to ride it take extra care.

Two questions before I head into battle.
is it still safe to ride and will I do any damage to it if I did ride? Apart from issues mentioned in the op it feels pretty stable.
thanks everyone.

I really hope some of the respondents in this thread don't work on aircraft............... DONT ride it until it is fixed. Whilst the most likely cause is indeed los of gas pressure what if there is an internal component failing that if gone unchecked may lead to damage to other internal components?

If an assembly mistake was made after a rebuild of a shock and gas pressure set, is it possible for the shock to loose gas pressure after it was activated in the bike? I believe it IS, But you are the expert on this and not me.

But the strange thing is now my number plate which is on a home made tail tidy is being hit by the back wheel at some point when riding and is getting folded up under the bike

Stop riding it in reverse and you should be sweet.
