• 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.

Compressor/Airbag system

mine is going in this week for the orange screen of death. the warranty[brp]has 3 weeks left. put away working
and first ride this year its gone.
 
Did you ever find out how to connect the schrade valve to the air bag. I see a couple have asked someone to explain but find no one that has told us how to do this "easy" fix. Sure would like to know. TIA
 
Sboxster, if you lift the seat you can see the Schrader valve. Underneath that fitting, there's an air hose that runs pretty much straight down to the air bag, only there's a tee fitting part way down that length of hose which tees in the compressor so it can add air & also connect the release valve so it can bleed excess air out when triggered. :)

All you need to do in order to by-pass all that and connect up the schrader valve directly to the air bag is to replace that tee fitting with a straight thru connector; or better yet, simply replace the entire OE length of hose, tee and all with a one piece length of hose about 2-300mm long - going straight from the schrader valve direct to the top of the air bag. You can go in via removing the RH side tupperware, or by dropping the rear tire & removing the mud-guard liner, altho some have said they've managed without doing either.... Regardless, it's really a Simple as task..... :lecturef_smilie:

You will probably also want to unplug the electrical connectors to the compressor & the bleed valve too, just so they don't keep on trying to do their thing despite no longer being connected into the air line between the schrader valve & the air bag. Job done. :thumbup:

Cheers :cheers:
