Many people 'think' they have air bag leaks when it's actually just the system working the way it's designed to work.... if you manually put in more air than is needed to maintain the computer's stored & set ride height, the excess pressure'll be bled off & lowered to whatever pressure is necessary the moment you start riding, so it might
seem to be loosing air when it's not really!! No matter how much air
YOU might want in there, it's the computer's set ride height that governs how much pressure the system will maintain in the air bag - any more (or less!) will be bled off/ignored/over-ridden as soon as you ride, and the pressure you end up with may vary depending on load, temp, attitude, & maybe even how hard you braked when coming to a stop to check!! :lecturef_smilie:
That said, there are just as many if not more who truly have leaks in their Air Controlled Suspension systems - and there's
MANY places those leaks may be!! The check valve; any one of the press-fit air hose fittings; the top of the bag where the air goes in; the bottom of the bag where it sits on the swing arm & can collect fine gravel to puncture the bag; anywhere along any one of the air lines; maybe even in the air compressor itself.... and then there's the potential for actual air compressor failures too - the system might 'think' it's adding air, but if the compressor has lost the piston/crank con-rod, it can run all it likes, but it's never gonna actually pump any air! :gaah:
Finding a leak in this ACS thing is just a little more complex than simply finding your air bag pressure is lower than whatever you last put in there manually.... can you give us some detail on why you think yours is leaking & what you've tried in order to determine this and/or fix it?? :dontknow: Often, removing & replacing anything dodgy or maybe even
everything is the
ONLY 'good, workable fix'!!
