Default UPDATE and Not so Good

Ran home at lunch and hooked up the pump pretty tight, it read Zero. I put air in and again, it only takes 30lbs. I watched the gauge slowly creep down. The suspension is Not holding air. Called dealer and they want to see it. Bike has just above 700 miles.

Sounds like a warranty issue.


If you're interested in locating the problem there are 4 tubing connectors, 2 where you hook up your pump and one at each shock. Mix a little liquid dish soap with water and put it around the connector and look for bubbles. Even check the air valve you hook the pump to. Maybe the tubing isn't pushed in the connector far enough. If no indication of a leak maybe there s a rub somewhere that's leaking. Might save you a trip to the dealer
Good Luck

Yes that was the problem, one connector was leaking. I wasn't too concerned once I got home and could spend a minute looking at it. I still ran the bike up and the dealer replaced it but all in all I could of fixed it as well.


Thanks for the reply's I absolutely Love this bike!
