Default Air Ride, Not So Much...

...I finally got the air pump/guage to check/pump up my air ride suspention.

5 lbs. found on rear shocks. O lbs. on front forks. Won't hold pressure. Possible air leak(s).
Where have you found the leaks in the past?

Fittings, Schrader valve, or at Banjo fitting/seal?

Air it up and shoot soapy water on all the fittings and connections.

Cool

Is this the factory stock air suspension and if so what model and year? If the shocks are connected to a single valve the hose connectors may be leaking, but the simplest thing to check is that the valve is tight and not leaking. With your forks check the valve as well, also the hose from bars to fork manifold, then the various seals on the banjos etc. You can see what hardware is involved by using an on-line parts website, like this one.

All rubber mount touring bikes had air forks as well as air shocks until around 2001, so we must assume that hyrax has an earlier bike from that era.
