What do you do?
Thanks everybody for the great responses. At this point I guess I just haven’t decided if I have a leak or I just haven't mastered the adjusting and checking. I'll connect the tool and adjust to a set pressure and I believe each time I disconnect I lose a little and when I reconnect I lose a little more and there could be as much as 10-15psi difference between the time I adjust and the time I recheck...I'm beginning to think it’s me and my inexperience...I adjusted to 45psi about 3 weeks ago and when I checked it yesterday I was down to about 32psi.
That sounds like too much air to be losing on disconnect and connect...I barely lose a thing when I detach the pump. The threaded connector on the HD pump actually works really well to prevent that. The shocks can and do leak over time. Have you rechecked your pressure immediately after filling to test the concept that its the way you connect/disconnect?
I seem to lose about 20-25 psi a week so I guess I need to bring mine in to be ck'd out. I don't have the Harley one but seems to be a zero lose as I have rechecked after airing up. Does anybody elsehave this problem? Sorry for the change of subject didn't mean to hijack. Jim
Yup, same here.
I am wondering what everyone does with the air pump for the rear shocks...like most, I have the Harley version and am wondering how everybody packs it...I presently keep mine in the original package in the left bag. However, the original package takes up a bunch of room...what does everyone else do?
I wrap mine in a small towel and keep it in my saddlebag. The shocks don't leak but I ride 2 up a lot and I'm really bad about remembering to adjust the pressure before we leave. She is too, so we usually realize it after a few good bumps and stop to pump them up.
