Does your air shocks pressure slowly leak down?
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.

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.

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
