Air compressor out again

[2013REDRTS]

I had the compressor replaced under warranty once and now it's out again. Is there a better replacement out there? I'm just putting air in under the seat but not sure what pressure for 2 up riding. Thanks

:agree: ……….. but just doing it manually ( make sure it doesn't have a leak ) isn't a big deal, the Bag seems to hold pressure pretty well ….. Mike hyea:

Digging through the SL archives, I found this gem. Being frugal (aka cheap) I like his approach to the problem.

I tried the link and found it leads to nowhere. So sorry. The video shows a fellow had removed a non working air compressor and removed the motor housing to discover the brushes were stuck in their channels and not touching the commutator. He cleaned out the channels, lubed the end bearing, re-assembled it and it tested out perfect. A man after my own frugal heart. It's nice to know the compressor is serviceable.

Very easy to bypass the compressor. Also, in the Owners Manual there is a picture of a label that has the suggested psi for the air bag based on rider weight and gear

Here's a YouTube video for the complete process including needed parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NR_LY7u8eY

This is a very good step by step video on removing your panels. Your owners manual will also take you thru a step by step removal.

Like 911 said, it's a lot cheaper to gut it and fill direct to the bag. You will not miss the compressor a bit, once you figure out what pressure works for you! Good luck!!
