    Default Adjustment rear shock?

    I have adjusted my front shocks to position 4. Is there an adjustment that can be done to the rear shock? I'm not talking about the airbag thing. That has a leak anyway.
    Thanks.

    The airbag is the only adjustment on the RT. Check the valve core on your Schrader valve. That is a common source of leaks. If your Spyder is on warranty, the dealer can find and address the air leak.

    Changed the valve core. Still leaks down. When I took out the original valve core, there was some 'white stuff' on it. I'm thinking the previous owner had tried to put some sealant in there?
    Guess I'll have to take a trip to the dealer. Hope it's covered under BEST?
