Just need confirmation before I use my tools ! Air compressor bypass.

It happened for me as well, the Viair blew a fuse today, so wife and I took a U-turn and headed back home. :gaah:
Luckily, I had a spare used original compressor in the garage, so I decided to install that one instead. This being the fourth time taking the Spyder apart, it did not take that long time before the Viair compressor was out and the used original was in.
Spyder is back on the ground and compressor works fine again :thumbup:

Trust me, if you just bite the bullet and do the manual fill fix, you will not miss that adjustment button a bit, once you find the correct pressure for your type of riding. And the fix will only cost you a couple of bucks.

Trust me,that will be my next project when this compressor kicks the bucket. I prefer ride time over garage time

Btw, just to be sure !

Is the manual solution similar to what it looks like in the box on the right ? Directly from the shraeder to the air bag. Or is it better to connect the "one way" valve from the compressor on the tube before entering the airbag ? That way it will be air in- not out !

Your local Biltema store might know what speed bleeders you might need. They also stock vacuum bleeding systems.

My Norwegian isn't up to much, well it isn't up to anything, but from what I can tell from their website they stock all kinds of things that might work for bleeding brakes.

They have a website which seems to show all kinds of interesting things related to cars and motorcycles: https://www.biltema.no/

Of course you probably know about them as they say they have 62 stores and mail order.

The vacuum bleeder has part number: 19-1531

Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know.

Been a long time since I've been to Norway. Beautiful country and I would like to go back some day.

Hi Martin

Thank you for your tip and yes, I do know of Biltema, it has lots of different stuff for cars and mc's and anything for the house.
I do have the item you mention, but it's in my son's garage at the moment as he is trying to get his old Golf MK1 back on the road.
Biltema has cheap prices for tools, but their quality varies a lot. But with a 2-year warranty, people don't worry if the item just lasts a year, they'll get a new one for free due to the warranty. :thumbup:

Have a great rest of the summer and ride safely!
