Where is the Schraeder valve? 2020 F3 Ltd

[pauly1]

Although F3 and RT models share some parts, they are not the same. We have owned F3-S, F3-T and F3-L models. The F3-S models (both were 2015 vintage) didn't have an air bag booster in the suspension as there was opportunity to easily access the coil over shock, although the standard shock was non-adjustable. The 2018 F3-T has a manual air bag booster with the Schraeder valve under the passenger seat. The F3-L models (2018 and 2023) both had auto leveling via an on-board air pump and no Schraeder valve under the seat.

Ps: I just searched the 2018 Owners Manual .pdf and was not able to locate any reference to the suspension adjustment.

No, that's not what I said. The manual says that the Limited does not have the valve but gives the pressure spec for some reason, it's also under the passenger seat in a table. I've looked under the passenger seat and I do not find a valve on my Spyder.

At least I don't think that what I found is a valve. There is a weird looking connector though with what could be a very thin air line. One end of the line goes down towards the front of the machine while the other end goes to the back someplace.

I didn't disconnect the thing, but I'm tempted just to see what's what with it. Looking closer, that does appear to be a valve. What say yous?

Ahhhhhhh. Gotcha, Albec. Yes, that is definitely not a Schraeder. Unfortunately, I don’t have a clue what it is……sorry.
Looks like we are back to the ‘20+ RT-L having the Schraeder and the ‘20+ F3-L not, even though both have auto air. :dontknow:

Ok, so that's not a Schraeder valve, what the heck is it?

I guess now I'm going to HAVE to follow the wires/lines that are attached to that connector and see where they go.

Looks like a coax connector

That was my first thought as well. Oh wait, I'll bet that it's the antenna connecter to the infotainment system.
