    Sorry - on the 16 F3T it is under the pillion-- but on the 17 F3 Limited on page 55 in the manual it just says "air pressure is automatically adjusted" - Sorry I dont know?

    Maybe under the top case?? Is it removable??

    There is no air valve on all F3 Limiteds 2017 and up. They are auto adjust by the air bag compressor.

    Adding air would do you no good as long as the leveling assembly was hooked up, it sets the ride height, you add air the bike go's up it releases air until it's in it's happy spot!! It's a wonderful system!!!

    I'll bet there's a Schrader valve somewhere. I asked a similar question about my 2018 RTL (I asked why there was a valve under the rear seat). Turns out it's to deflate the bag to adjust the headlights (or so someone said per their shop manual). If there's a Schrader valve on my 2018 RTL, I don't see why there wouldn't be one on your 2017 F3L. I'm guessing it's under the rear box.
