I did a search but didn't find a good answer. My wife gets on first before cranking the machine and then I do before starting it up. I have never heard the compressor or noticed any movement in the rear. It rides really well with no apparent issues. Is the air bag a soft bladder that really plays no part in the suspension and is there away to do something to make it noticeable when it is adjusting the ride height?

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.
Is my Air bag leveling? Any way to make it more noticeable when adjusting the ride height?

Well, I had never heard the compressor but..... I have noticed while looking at the side mirror at a distant object I could detect it leveling itself, but couldn't really feel it. Other times it's apparent when leveling.
If it is like mine, it must be in gear with the parking brake off for it to adjust. I just checked mine and using my ride adjust switch (ACS) the passanger foot rest height to floor changed about .75" between soft to hard. I was not on the bike with it in R and the back tire blocked.

HI Will W.
I get the same thing on my 2023 F3 LTD SS . I am a solo rider. I don't hear the air compressor on mine.

Thanks for the info on how to check it. I sat in the passenger seat and cranked it up but with the brake on and in neutral in my shop with lights off looking to see if the headlight beam would move on the wall but nothing changed. I'll get the wife to sit on the back, release the brake and put it in reverse to see if the headlight beam levels out. Thanks again jjc54

Unless you have real good ears, or had your head stuffed in the rear fender you will not hear the pump, but you should feel it go up or down when in gear and brake off! When your pump leaves the chat, sometimes you can hear it hammering down there, depending how it decides to leave you! If it does go and you lose the air in the bag you will know it right off the bat, it will ride like a dump cart dead on the rear end.

Manually let the air out, then start it, it should raise back up.
