You shouldn't lose too much air when you remove the pump, but some have a two stage screw so you lose even less. I find it's the hose filling when you re-attach it which causes the pressure drop.
Yes you should always cycle the shock a few times after making major pressure changes to make sure the chambers are equalised.

I'll have a look at it. But also, if I can tighten it up and the obvious bouncing goes, that's a winner.
I've just added almost 100psi to the rear shock so it's now at 275psi, sag is 25%
When adding shock pressure, do you always measure again after a few bounces and or sag test, because it seems to lose 10-20psi each inflation, presumably from the pump being removed and the air settling in the pos/neg chambers?
