Shocks auto adjust?

[iSpyder]

So I have had my Spyder about 4 months and loving it. Quick question: is it normal for the shocks to auto adjust occasionally in the back?

Yep. It is the air bag adjusting the ride height. Strange noise but, normal.

Great! I thought you had to hit the ride adjust button to change it. When I felt it happening on its own, kinda freaked me out!

Thanks!

The rear suspension on the RTS and LTD adjust automatically. The switch setting says stiffness, but actually changes the ride height. As the rider/passenger/cargo load changes, the ACS will adjust the height up or down to maintain the same relative position to the swingarm. If you hear the compressor running frequently as you go down the road at a steady load, you probably have an air leak. The valve core in the Schrader valve under the seat is a common source of air leaks. If the solenoid bleeds off frequently at a steady load, the ACS system is faulty somewhere, and should be checked by a dealer.
