Hi! I have FLHTCUI 01, yesterday i trying to increase the air pressure in the rear shocks to riding with a passenger, but i used not the correct pump (not no-loss air) and have oil leaks from the pump. I think it was about 5 ml oils may be less. From front fork the leaks was negligible. I pumped rear to 15-20 psi, front stayed zero. What should i do with oil level in now ? Thanks for advice!

 

All of them I've ever pumped leaked a little! Oh, wait we're talking about rear shocks! Sorry.

 

all of them? Really dude?

 

Somebody is a legend in his own mind, lmao..

You really need to stop shopping at the kindergarten!

Unheilig, I don't believe that is enough oil loss to worry over. When it comes time, or sooner if you wish, you can always change the oil and verify the correct level. You say the front 'stayed zero'? If you mean the air pressure is not building up, maybe check your air lines/connectors first. If they are good, then get a friend to help you pump the front up while you listen for air leaking? Keep us informed on what you find, even the comic relief above likes to believe they are interested in mechanical information!

 

Spray some soapy water on all the fittings and watch for bubbles when you pump.

 

Wow! Make a joke and its up in flames. Are we all a little sensitive today?

Today I take a ride with a passenger 80kg, did not notice anything criminal. I'll try to buy the right pump without loss of air. Front fork does not make sense to pump as I often ride one.

 

Yes, thank you for the interesting way already read on the forum. Hope is not useful to me.
