Rear air shocks bleeding down
Question, is it common for the air to bleed down after a few weeks? I usually run about 10 lbs in mine and every time I go back and check they are down to zero. I checked all the fittings and they seem tight. Is this normal?

No, sounds like you have a leak somewhere. If the bike is still under warranty get them to the dealer to get replaced OR just spend the money for some Progressive 440's

Good luck with the Warranty. Buddy of mine bought the 7 year ESP( BIG BUCKS ) and the rear went. The rear shocks are not covered. B.S. He was slightly over 1 year. Dumb *** bought replacement rear shocks. No way would I have paid the MOCO for that one.

I didnt think it was right but thanks for confirming.
I guess I will pump them up and put some soapy water around all the fittings and look for bubbles, at least then I can point the dealer to the right spot and let them warrant it.
What are the Progressive 440s? Are they the same type of air set up or are they just an oil dampend shock with progressve spring? I guess the big question is did you notice a big difference after installing them?

You will be amazed how much better your bike rides and handles with quality shocks on it over the factory air shocks . Plus no more fiddling with air pressures.
