1983 Aspencade Air Ride Issues
imported post
Being that I am very new to the Goldwing bike I am probably going to ask some questions that have been addressed many times here and this is one of them I am sure.
I just got back Monday from a short ride, about 200 miles round trip with a passenger on board. The air suspension seemed to work fine when I got the the bike. I activated and pumped up the front and rear suspension with the on board compressor and it held ait fine, or so at least I beleived it did.
After a somewhat spirited ride up HWY67 here in Wisconsin on the way to the superbike races in Elkhart Lake I bottomed some hard parts in a few turns. I think it was the center stand.
I stoped at a gas station and tried to get the suspension pumped back up but it would not hold the air charge. the compressor seems to run fine.
What should I be looking at first and what fails most often on this system?
Thanks guys.

I didnt see any leakage anywhere but out back its hard to see anything. I am thinking it has to be the central lines they T off of because both front and rear suspension go low after a short time. I will have to go to my buddies where the bike is kept, pump it up and get soapy.
I will be looking at the compressors main connections 1st I guess.

As I have a lowly Interstate , I dont have the onboard system. I did have leaks and replacing both schrader valves solved my problem . That being said I dont know if the Aspy has two air ports like the Interstate system .
Its possible I think that you could have a leak around the rocker switches where the air is ported to the front or rear . (thats from memory of an 82 system )
