Fxrs-sp forks leaking/air leaking
I've got an issue with my air assist forks.
first, they seem to lose air pressure over a couple days. Then the forks are super soft and have a lot of dive.
Next...I have a fluid leak back behind the headlight. I assume it's from the distribution block for the air assist.
Is this set up serviceable?
I can find fork seals, rebuild kits etc, but I'm not sure of the air assist stuff is separate.
I don't have wet fork legs, like a wiper or seal is leaking. Just the air stuff. When the system is pressurized it works great. But otherwise...very..flaccid

Thanks for the link to the jp part.
i might have gotten lucky tho. I had time this morning to pull the headlight etc off the the bike, and it looked like my leak was at the hose connection to the solenoid. The clamp was loose and the hose would turn and was easy to pull off. Replaced that pinch clamp with a gear type, can't see it behind the light anyway. Maybe that will take care of things.
