Air bag issue - anyone gone full manual? Info/instructions?

Or Elka!! Just give them a call and tell them what you want, they will ask how you ride and how much weight you normally carry! They will build and set the shock up to close to what it has to be, and give you a booklet on how to adjust if you don't like it !

I usually fill ours to 70/75 lbs and it lasts "a long long time" (weeks, maybe months) without needing a refill. :yes:
I'm curious about what others say needs to be done here.:dontknow: As I recall (?)......all I did when my 2nd compressor failed and I gave up on BRP and my extended warranty "fixing" it, was to get to the compressor and unplug the power to it. I did nothing else. From then on I use the shrader valve to fill as noted above. Just my input.hyea:

A lot of the time the check valve on the compressors the leak in the system that burns the compressor out, if you leave the shock in the loop it will bleed out, some faster than others! That's why if it was me I would unhook and go straight from bag to Scrader, do a good soap test and call it a day!! For the most part if done that way to should not have to add any more air all season!

Larry, easy to do:
Remove Tupperware. Follow the Schrader valve to a line. Disconnect it. Follow to next component. Disconnect it. When you get to the airbag, stop. Use Teflon tape, and connect the lines to each other so you have a Schrader valve on one end, and the airbag on the other. There will be a couple of connections. Put air in the bag. 45# will do. Put a capful of dish soap in a spray bottle, add warm water, shake. Spray all over bag and connections and lines. Leaks make bubbles. Meanwhile, measure from the tip of the rear fender to the ground. Write that down. If you find no leaks, replace Tupperware. When you do your weekly tire pressure check, measure the fender to ground. If it is down more than an inch, add air. I manage to lose a lot of air with my tire pressure gauge; the ruler is easier! My number is below. Call me if you need help. Joe

Hi Joe, hope you guys are doing well and staying healthy...

Back again after a long absence (hospital and recovery, all good now)

Thanks for the tips on removing the Tupperware last fall. I did try it and it was not nearly as complicated as I feared (after your detailed instructions). I did the right side and found it very difficult to get to the air bag etc. Should I have gone in from the left side instead?
