• 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.

Rear Sahock

2014 RT rear air shock (manual preload) Seems no matter how much air is in it it (35-70 lbs)is a harsh ride, solo or two up. Has anyone replaced it with a Fox or other brans spring type preload ?......Thanks
 
Might have a bad compressor or a leak in the air bag. (I am in the middle of repairing both) Take an air chuck and check your pressure from the valve underneath the seat. A good, leak free system will stay within 5 lbs over an 8 hour period.
If the air bag is not up, it will give you a very rough ride. The rear shock only travels about 4" total on my bike. That makes for a very hard ride.

I checked connections and no leaks, holds pressure O.K. Rides rough even right after checking correct pressure. Thanks anyway. I have to say I think they could have done a lot better in the suspension department, already replaced the front with fox shocks.
