Use a portable air tank...
I usually use the portable air tank. Doesn't take much volume and no danger of over pressuring if you start with 50 to 60 psi in the tank. Worked well on the RT's and F3 air bags, and lowered the tank pressure for the 15-20 psi in the Harley air shock. Also works well to balance the front tire air pressures by starting at 20-22 psi in the air tank and go back and forth a couple of times to balance the tire pressure within 0.5 psi as advised by BRP.
Valve is under the seat-- twist key towards TOOL Icon
The air valve is under the seat--as well as the tool kit. Twist the key towards the wrench Icon and pull up on the back of the seat to raise and then slip the seat out towards the rear.
Requested the Dealer check pressure - and the response was?

The sales guy got his air gauge out and there was zero air in the rear, even though his setup notes to the workshop showed my 300lb request. Lucky I checked on here first or I would have had a very unimpressive 3 hour trip home. :shocked:

Dropped off my 2016 F3T in Mobile, Al. for a BUDDS update following rear top case install.
While I am there I ask my service folks to show me where the fill valve is for the shock/airbag/whatever on my F3T and they look stunned like two deer in headlights :yikes: :yikes:
I describe the basics in the owners manual and their eyes only get bigger :dontknow: :yikes::dontknow::yikes:
I ask them to figure it out :opps: and show me 5/30/17 at the end of day when I pick my Spyder up.:gaah:
