The answer----
Hi Bob,
I need to answer the second question before the first, as the ACS Sensor would have to be connected to perform a little trick to bleed the ACS air bag a little bit...
You never have to disconnect the ACS arm from the swing arm unless replacing the sensor or swing arm. The shock tops out long before the sensor is over extended. In fact, you don’t even have to disconnect the arm when replacing the shock, as the swing arm will contact frame components prior to over extension...
So, to trick the ACS into bleeding off some air is to jack the rear wheel high enough that there’s no load on the rear suspension. You can lift the wheel slightly off the ground if you’re not sure all the load is off. Now, to activate the ACS system, the engine must be running, park brake off and transmission in 1st or reverse gear. Sit or stand next to the bike so you can keep your foot on the brake pedal, for obvious reasons... Lol The ACS will think the ride height is too high, and you should hear the pressure valve release air in a series of hisses. Once it stops, put the bike in neutral, activate the park brake and lower the bike back down and remove the jack. Seat yourself on the bike, put back into gear and park brake off, you should hear the ACS pump and the bike lifting in the rear...
If nothing happens during any of this, make sure the ACS Sensor is attached to the swing arm or a fuse hasn’t blown. If all that is okay and still nothing, have your dealer connect it to BUDS software and check that the ACS system is activated. I’ve had more than one RT come from the factory with the ACS not activated in the system. So far, we’ve had zero issues with F3-LTD’s ACS systems.
Hope this helps you out!
Be safe in your travels. Take care.
Sincerely,
Shawn Smoak
Needless to say I thanked Shawn for the above answer,
Bob
