How much air do you put in air shocks for Harley?
Do not exceed 50 psi (241kPa).
Do air shocks go bad?
Because they are subject to the harsh impacts of the road and weight of the vehicle, the seals in air shocks can eventually go bad and begin to leak, reducing their performance. Bad air shocks can not only reduce performance and handling, they can also compromise the safety of a vehicle.
What PSI should I run in my rear shock?
For the rear shock, start at about half of your rider weight for air pressure. You will have to adjust from here, but you will want to achieve the proper SAG for your frame, as recommended by your frame manufacturer. Typically this is somewhere between 30-40% of overall travel.
How do you adjust the adjustable shocks on a Harley?
Rotate the preload adjustment knob clockwise the recommended number of turns to increase the preload for the total weight. This weight includes the rider, passenger, cargo and accessories. The knob will click after each half rotation. Turn the knob half turns to fine tune the ride if desired.

An air suspension system uses inflatable air springs and air to raise or lower the bike to your preferred height. When raised, you can experience a smoother ride. And when lowered handling, stability, and overall driving experience is improved.
How much air pressure should I put in my air shocks?
The proper pressure of an air shock should be between 35 and 75 PSI. If it is any lower than this, the shocks will need to be filled with air.
What pressure should my bike suspension be?
You’ll need a specific shock pump for this. What is sag? Sag is how much your bike settles into its suspension travel when you get on your bike and take your feet off the ground. Suspension is designed to work best with between 25-35% sag (AKA a quarter to a third).
