 2022 RT Rear Shock Losing Pressure - my fix!
I had a problem with the rear shock on my 2022 Spyder RT losing pressure. I called my dealer and they said they’ve had several calls about this.
I found my problem and an easy fix. My valve stem core was slightly loose. I used a valve stem tool and tightened the core. Problem solved.
I told my dealership about this to pass on the info.

I was bottoming out and then checked the pressure

The old school way to check this for leakage is to remove the cap and place a finger full of saliva in the schrader valve. If it blows bubbles, it's leaking.
