There must be an existing thread on this somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
I just checked the air pressure on my rear shocks for the first time and both were at 0 psi.
I used a foot pump to get them at 41 psi.
The service manual says, "Do not use tire gauges for checking air pressure. They
may not indicate the correct air pressure because of air leakage that occur when the gauge is applied to the valve." So... what should I use instead? I just used a digital tire gauge I have been using for the bike. Seems like it gets a pretty decent seal, but I do notice that if I check the pressure in the shocks twice in a row, the reading goes down rapidly.
My questions:
What do you use to check the air pressure on your rear shocks?
What psi setting are you using?
Can anyone point me to the dohickythingy that lets you adjust both shocks at the same time (i.e. it helps apply equal pressure to both shocks)?
