Default Air Suspension Leakage

My search revealed several threads on the air suspension, but I didn't find any that squarely addressed my question. Please forgive me if I'm rehashing something that's been answered before.

My '09 Road King is my first bike with air suspension. I find that after a couple of days the air pressure has dropped nearly to zero -- sometimes after a single day. I have never inflated it with anything except the HD pump.

Is this normal, or something I should have them look at as a warranty issue?

Fill a spray bottle with liquid dish soap and water. Pump up the shocks. Spray the solution on all connections, if it bubbles that is where it is leaking. The "T" fitting has been a common source of leaks.

It's definitely a warranty item. Take it back and make them fix it. You shouldn't have to be doing all that crap to have them work properly. Tell them you want it fixed. They'll cover it. Don't debate it with them, and don't take "no" for an answer. This is an easy fix that they should cover quickly and without any problem....
