Air Shocks

[cruisin]

About 3 to 4 weeks after buying my TriGlide, I checked the air in my shocks and they were down about 20 lbs.. Is this common?

Also, Thanks to everyone who responded to my first post here. You folks were very helpful.

That was not the case on an Ultra I used to have.
Since yours is still under warranty, I'd have the dealer check for leaks.

Welcome to the forum & congrats on your new ride!


What deputydawg said. ThumbUp

It is not uncommon to have them vary 3-4 lbs over a few week period of time, but 20 is too much, that can (and should be) fixed.

What were you using to check them. :Shrug: If you were using a regular air gauge that could be the problem. The proper tool is an no-loss air gauge/pump. If you were using the right tool' then let your dealer check it out..

Suggestion, ditch the OEM air shocks and install the Pro-Action shocks or the Bitubo shocks that DK Custom sells and you will never regret it!! epper:

Check to see if 1 of the lines is on backwards, ask me how I know this Air shocks like tires will lose PSI but not that much at 1 time Some trikes were shipped with the lines on wrong facing wrong direction = faster leakage from rubbing
