The RT-S and RT-Ltd have an onboard compressor for the rear air shock. You will hear it kick on at various times.

....with Ann, but what do you mean by " all the time ".........The Air compressor has an Auto fill feature which is determined by weight among other criteria.......But I don't think you should hear it 5 or 6 times a ride .........Ann what is normal on this ........Mike

Mike, it does depend on your size and I'm sure there are other factors. I keep my rear shock at the hardest setting so I would think that it might make the compressor kick on more often to keep it at the highest psi. 5 or 6 times wouldn't be a big deal if you are on a long ride but 5 or 6 times in a few miles is probably not normal

I keep mine set up near the top also...
Since it is monitoring the ride-height; it'll bleed out air, or add it even as temperatures change within the system. It's a pretty small amount of air, and temperature changes DO make it work a lot harder...
When I start out in the morning; mine will come on, and set the height. By the time I've ridden about two miles. it'll be bleeding off air already...
If yours is absolutely running non-stop; you've got a leak in the system. See your dealer.

Ours just quit working, but I couldn't tell with my bad hearing. Noticed the rear fender was very close to the tire and it rode harder too. I am putting air in manually until my dealer will look at it. It usually cycles at hard stops.
As was mentioned earlier if it runs all the time there is a leak.
