Rear Shock Pressure
Well, I finally decided to check the air pressure in my rear shocks.... had 22 psi in the right one and 12 in the left...... took a TINY bit out of the right one and it went down to 10 psi !!!!! So............... like an idiot, I decided I could take out a miniscule amout out of the left............. it went to 8 psi !!!!!!! I left it alone for now.... geez...SUPER sensitive.......

Yep, doesnt take much to change it which is why you need that susupension pump..ask around before you buy one...you probably know someone close to you with one that you can use..if not, and this is going to be HARD to beleive, HD shops sell em for $39.99...cheaper than online....and you will have something with that pretty little emblem on it (scratched mine off

Rear Shock Pressure
I couldnt make it work to balance the two...you lose some when you disconnect and when you check the pressure since it takes so little to air loss to change...although sounds like you didnt have to much problem with the two unbalanced. You might have better luck than me.

Yeh.... it's so sensitive I know you're right about getting the good pump.... I couldn't believe one little Pshhh... and went from 22 to 10 psi just like that.... so maybe I'll make it a half day project to save $40.. and drive myself crazy.... then still get the good pump after I frustrate myself to death!! lol Thanks for the help Toddster..... 39 more posts and you too will be reach wacky staus!!! :)
