    Good job on the video. The camera was spot on and you spoke slowly and deliberately. Thanks

    Great instruction commentary….. Harley recommend adding air to the air shocks before releasing any air, it reduces the risk of releasing oil.

    What kind of shocks do you have on that and about how much do they cost? I have a 2012 HD Ultra Glide Ltd Classic. I don't know much about the mechanics. I don't want a $1,800.00 suspension the rises and lowers. I just want a shock that I can adjust the air pressure to comfort my 260lb frame. Please and thank you

    Good info,.. question. I bought an 01 roadking. The manual seems oddly written and vague I called hd, and they told me to use 10 psi in the grom at 30 in the rear but they didn't ask the load so I assumed they were just throwing out general numbers. I appreciate your advice on the rest suspension, what about the front. My year has 2 shader values, one for the rear socks and one for the forks. Thnx

    I just bought a 06 Road king classic. I can feel every little bump I go over. Could this mean that they're is to much air in the suppension?

    • @BEACHYz
      @BEACHYz 4 года назад +1

      I think so, more air the stiffer the suspension less air the softer. My question is why id the manual so vague and why doesn't a Harley-Davidson tech know how to decipher it.

    Should the bike be jacked up off the ground when you check the pressure?

    • @smallengineshop
      @smallengineshop  10 лет назад

      For the bike in the video you don't need any type of lift to adjust the air pressure. I don't think it will be different for other models or year motorcycles, but always check the service manual or owners manual for the bike your working on.

  • @iaincondy642
    @iaincondy642 2 года назад

    That's just a bicycle suspension pump. Get them on ebay. They have small displacement which makes it easier to hand pump high pressures if required. My bicycle forks run on 110psi.

  • @PeterDad60
    @PeterDad60 9 лет назад +1

    My 2015 FLHP Police Road King H-D Owners manual recommends that you "ADD" 3 lbs air pressure before you bleed down the air pressure (to set it lower than when you first measured the air pressure) in order to avoid having any oil escape from the system. So you are lucky that you first added a few pounds to bring yours up from 14 to 16 psi before you depressed the bleeder to lower your bikes rear shock system down to 10 psi. Please re check your 2014 owners manual to verify that I am right befor you do this again. Hey it's your bike.

    ON FLHX MODELS: Always clear the line by adding 3-5 psi 21-35 kPa before releasing air from the pump's valve, but do not exceed 50 psi 345 kPa
