with all the time , money and effort you have put in i would be getting them to do the forks as well
can be a messy shit job and you can make mistakes
not saying you cant do it or that it cant be done though, just my 2c

This. Theres not much point in getting your shock all mickied up if you leave your forks in stock trim. Why? Cos one end will be differently valved to the other resulting in an unbalance.

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

I've only ridden a handful of bikes but from what I've experienced the 2005 RM250 is an amazing bike and I'll be damned if I ever sell it  ;D

Gas isn't leaking is it? Clickers aren't dialed all the way out? Uber soft shock spring?

Definitely something drastically wrong. Shock seal for sure. I would be very surprised if that shock had any oil or nitrogen in it.

Little update!

Got the shock back yesterday, she's all together just need to break a few links off the chain.
I get the forks today, I also need a clutch lever and to get some oil while i'm at the shop. Pretty pumped my only dislike is how far over the R304 shorty sits over the tire, its really gonna get scratched up after the first ride.

Is your subframe bent? If not, you could always put a spacer between the frame and the pipe mount to keep it off the tire.That is if there is enough room to move it over between the plastic. But the worst it will do it scuff up the pipe with rubber. You can literally rub it off with a rag and it's good as new.
