• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

air compressor for tires

Hi, since our bikes have an onboard compressor could it be adapted to top off the tires or is it too small and if so maybe a bigger compressor would do. It would be a neat feature to have with you all the time.
 
Interesting....🤔

Though the compressor is controlled by the sensors if you could by pass that and have a direct switch could work. Now if they added that little feature it would be great with a pull out hose to reach all tires...:thumbup:

Without sounding stupid, what does our compressor do and when /why
 
In theory you could run a hose from the Schrader valve on the air bag to a tire. As long as the air pressure was higher in the bag it would fill the tire. Then the compressor would refill the bag as the pressure dropped in the bag. Granted I doubt it would be very fast, or work for long before possibly killing the pump. I don't know if it would really be any better than just using an outside compressor, except in an emergency.

Yeah, that's part of my thought, is the compressor made for something like this or could a better one be installed to replace it. Again I don't know why something like this isn't offered when some vehicles already had an onboard compressor. Maybe mount a different one in some space somewhere. Thanks Mike

A LA the older Goldwings. I never understood once Honda did it this way the others (Yamaha Venture etc) didn't do it too.
 
RT Compressor

The compressor does not operate unless the engine is running and the transmission is in first gear. It is not worth using the compressor for airing the tires when there are compressors like the one Lamont sells. It runs off a rechargeable battery, has a built in pressure gauge and the gauge can be set to a set pressure to automatically pump up the tire. This is a great feature for the front tire as they should be running the same tire pressure.

It appears that he has stopped selling these.
