Default Streetglide Air ride
I have a air ride that came with my bike. My question is when it’s sitting is it best to let all air out or does it matter? Thanks

You have members on your other thread wondering how the deal turned out. As for the air ride, if you are in season, nope. Long term? Can't hurt. Do you have a water trap? Keeping moisture out of the system (like any air compressor) is good maintenance.

Congrats on the Purchase! Everyone over on your initial thread are looking for an update!!!

Sorry... Can't help much with Air Ride as I am running stock air suspension and hope to upgrade to spring suspension in the future!

Welcome to the greatest money pit you have ever purchased!

Do any of the air system brands provide maintenance advice? Just a thought.
