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.

The RT-S and RT-Ltd have an onboard compressor for the rear air shock. You will hear it kick on at various times.

ALL THE TIME SOUND ??????
:agree:....with Ann, but what do you mean by " all the time ".........The Air compressor has an Auto fill feature which is determined by weight among other criteria.......But I don't think you should hear it 5 or 6 times a ride .........Ann what is normal on this ........Mike :thumbup:

Mike, it does depend on your size and I'm sure there are other factors. I keep my rear shock at the hardest setting so I would think that it might make the compressor kick on more often to keep it at the highest psi. 5 or 6 times wouldn't be a big deal if you are on a long ride but 5 or 6 times in a few miles is probably not normal

I keep mine set up near the top also...
Since it is monitoring the ride-height; it'll bleed out air, or add it even as temperatures change within the system. It's a pretty small amount of air, and temperature changes DO make it work a lot harder...
When I start out in the morning; mine will come on, and set the height. By the time I've ridden about two miles. it'll be bleeding off air already...
If yours is absolutely running non-stop; you've got a leak in the system. :yikes: See your dealer.

Ours just quit working, but I couldn't tell with my bad hearing. Noticed the rear fender was very close to the tire and it rode harder too. I am putting air in manually until my dealer will look at it. It usually cycles at hard stops.
As was mentioned earlier if it runs all the time there is a leak.
