i tryed to adjust my ride on my 2011 rts, and it did not seem to be working, so i let all the air out through the valve under the seat, a lot of air came out, i bled it until no air came out, then started it up, and Behold it is adjusting again:thumbup:

A friend of mine has had no adjustment for months. Trouble is, he didn't know it, and says it rides just fine! Just wondering, if you let all the air out and it then doesn't work to restore the air, is that something that you could put in with an air hose? If so, how much pressure to get a moderate level?

If you have ACS and your compressor stops working, you could fill with air from the Schrader valve under the seat. Some of the air may bleed off, though, through the release solenoid valve, and cannot be replenished. The system doesn't hold a specific pressure, it tries to maintain a ride height set by the user. If there is a system leak, adding air through the valve will be of no lasting use.

MY COMPRESSOR STOPPED WORKING WHEN THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY.
THEY HAD TO PUT IT UP ON BLOCKS RESET THE HI AND LOW SETTING WITH THE BUDS SYSTEM
