Motor Trike Air Bag problem

Have a 05 vtx1300S M/T. Have only owned a year. I'm second owner as a trike.. Only has 6500 mile we've put on about 3200 Usually ride 2 up. Have noticed recently the pressure in the air suspension does not hold pressure for as long. Any ideas, remedy or suggestions.. Anyone know how difficult to change them out?

Usually have 25 psi with 2 up

Thanks
 
try inflating to the max setting. leave over night then deflate to your normal setting. this sometimes frees up the sticking valve.
 
I usually put 30+psi in with both riders...mine go down over time as well. I've never tried to find the problem, but have tightened up the plumbing.
 
I found a leak with very soapey water and 20 psi air presure. be sure to use safty glasses. Call Motor Trike they have always been nice about ansering questions for me. good luck.
 
Mine does that, and Zook told me the same thing as Gorilla told you. It worked well. After a couple of months it would start leaking again, and I just pumped them up again overnight.
