Electronic air

[Bob Denman]

Gentlemen and ladies,

I am going to put this one to bed. From everything you folks are telling me--there doesn't seem to be a simple way of checking to see if the 2017 F3 Limited is indeed operating the way it should be. Yes I could perhaps drain the air bladder but certainly not without knowing if BUDS would be needed in order to refill/reset the system. Bob said he heard the compressor running at low speed on his 2018 RT and also heard it releasing air. I have not heard/felt anything from my electronic system either alone or 2 up---but I might not be able to hear at that frequency. I would like to thank all of you for your participation in this discussion. I am going to assume that there is no simple way to check this.
Key word--simple.

Thank you all.

Do you have a button somewhere, that allows you to adjust the ride height?
If you do: set it on "Max", and pump the system up fully...
Take it for a ride, and leave it parked out in the hot Sun...
After an hour or so: start the bike, and have someone listen to it at about the mid-point on the RH side...
(By the seat...)
When you put it in gear, and slowly start to roll: they should hear it bleed off the extra pressure gained from sitting out in the heat.

Sorry Bob, no button of any kind.

Thanks,
