    Default Rear suspension question

    I don’t hear my compressor kick in in the last few days. Ride is rough. I adjust my suspension with the rocker switch to mid range. Drive for a while and look at the suspension gage again and it shows in manual mode. Only way to get back to adjustable is to kill the bike and restart. Then the same scenario occurs. I suspect my compressor has failed. Anyone with experience with this scenario? Thanks for any information you can send my way.

    I am assuming you have a RT.
    Simple test:
    1. Bleed the air out by pressing the Shrader valve under the seat.
    2. Make sure you have all three rear compartments closed.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Put the bike in first gear.
    5. Release the parking brake.

    The compressor should come on and the bike should rise. If it doesn't, 90% chance the compressor has failed.

    Search on YouTube for Can Am Spyder Compressor. I have a compressor replacement video there .
