    Default Rear shock

    I have a 2014 rt with the manual rear shock. Anyone else have any issues with it holding pressure? It drops from 70psi to 30psi overnight

    Check to make sure that the Schrader valve is nice and secure...
    Then; call your dealer.
    they all bleed-down a bit; yours is excessive...

    Mine bleeds down to nothing overnight. YES, I have checked the tightness of the valve core in the shrader valve. Tried to explain it to service manager at my dealer and got a blank stare. He told me I'd have to leave it overnight for a "few" days til they could get to it. Weather was so nice that I didn't want to waste riding days. Now I want to take it in but the snow collapsed the roof over the service area and dealer is closed indefinitely. I just routinely air up before I ride now. Only takes a few minutes to fill it and off I go.

    Take a spray bottle with some dish soap and water and spray down all the air components. Look for bubbles. Might be an easier repair than you think....

    I used to lose about 3 psi overnight on my 2010. Every week; I'd give it a drink from the compressor, and all was good!
    40 psi in one night...
