Hey everyone, My air shocks will leak down 20-25 psi over the course of 4-5 days just sitting in the garage. Its a 2013 RGC. My buddy says his 2013 street glide shocks hold the pressure just fine. Just wondering if I should turn it in on warranty or is it a normal thing to have to re-pressurize them so often.

 

Some of them will leak at the fittings. Put air in them and spray some soapy water on the fittings and look for the leak. It will usually show itself with bubbles. If you have a leak at a fitting just remove the line trim a little off and reattach it, that usually will fix it

 

My 2004 leaks down about 2# a month. You got a leak somewhere

 

Have the same problem with my 14 Limited. Brought it in for service and they said nothing was wrong, but there is still a slow leak. I'll try the soap and water to see if there are any bubbles.

 

use soapy water, that’ll tell ya

 

Same with my 2011. Very little leakage over time. Check it out.

 

Mine leak down. I asked the exact same question as you when I first bought the bike. Not a ton, but over a weeks time the bike will loose a noticeable amount of air. I have heard so many varying responses, that I just gave up. Because I change them with such regularity....... like every time the wife gets on, or I ride solo, that I just whip out the pump and pump them to where I want them. How much air loss over time is normal, I have no idea, but for me, SOME air loss over a weeks time seems to be normal.

 

My 2011 leaked tried everything couldn't find the leak put a set of progressives on no more problems and a much better ride

 

mine lose about 2 # per month. lost 8# over the winter.

 

mine always leaked, dealer blew it off. I put on progressives. I put the air shocks on my nightster with a bar mounted pressure guage and fill fitting. Filled them to 42# and never lost an oz., that's with me at at 260 and wife at 160 and watching the needle bounce past 60 constantly. (it's been over 2 months)

If the lines are assembled correctly they will not leak
