You shouldn't be losing that much pressure after a ride. You should lose basically nothing. Connecting the pump to measure it will cause a much large drop than loss from riding. So if you measure before every ride, it'll look like you're loosing a lot, but in reality, it's just the drop from measuring. Think of it like the Fox Uncertainty Principle.

Pump the fork/shock to desired pressure, when you measure you next you should get the same answer after one ride or a dozen rides. If there's a difference of more than 1-2 psi your suspension needs a rebuild.
