Air suspensions

#1 Unread post by DH40 »

I have a 97 Honda Goldwing and tonight I was playing around with some stuff and checked my air suspensions. I adjusted the rear as I will have a passenger, but when I checked the front, both forks were at 0. Does anyone actually adjust the front pressure and does it make any significant difference in the ride/performance? Thanks.

When in doubt, ask MOM (your Motorcycle Owners Manual).

Very little air in the front. Not sure of 97 but for a 86 Gold Wing front pressure was 0-6psi rear 28-57psi. Does make a dif in cornering.
