Question on 2014rts auto air system

[scarecrow]

I felt the air bag drop down once when I put the spyder in reverse with me just on the bike. The next time was when we did the same thing with both of us on the spyder. It comes back up auto, but is it normal to do it? I also have to run it at max up on the dash scale. My 13rts I could run it at half and adjust higher if I wanted too. Is this a problem or normal?

It would even do it when you stop fast, it would drop then refill. Sounds normal.

it should stay at the height that you set it to, that is my experience. Not sure about the drop and reset,:dontknow: if it happens to me i have not noticed it.

I believe it's self adjusting. I thought I felt/heard that, also, a few times myself...looked it up in the manual and it said that the system will self adjust like that when the engine is running. Maybe some old timers can confirm that.

Please keep in mind that it's a "ride height" adjusting system...
It's always looking to see how far the "seat is off the ground" (Which is always affected by how much you had for lunch! )
It's also affected by temperature (Hot air expands; increasing pressures and raising ride height. It'll adjust for that also.)
It's always going to be doing it's own little dance under there; relax, and enjoy the ride!

Thanks after loosing the compressor on my 13rts I thought I'd better start asking questions.
