I don't have a pressure gage on mind, but I checked it with a tire gage under the seat. I just wonder what the pressure most people have. It would be higher riding two up.
While knowing what other people's ACS pressure is might be
vaguely helpful, it's not really going to give you any specific or really helpful indication of what
YOUR Spyder's air bag pressure should be to suit
YOUR riding needs/wants, cos that pressure will vary in order to maintain your Spyder's pre-set Ride Height, &
NOT to adjust the comfort or firmness or otherwise of your ride!
I've played with quite a few of these now, on Spyders ranging from 2010 right up to 2021, and the ACS doesn't set pressure as such, it sets the pre-set ride height, then adjusts the pressure to maintain that ride height as it varies, & the pressure can vary significantly between machines, even if they're ridden by the same rider over the same route in the same manner on a day with same sort of temps & conditions to every other ride! :sour: . You just don't know
EXACTLY how your bike was set up vs how anyone else's was set up, and unless
ALL of the variables
AND the set-ups are
IDENTICAL,
INCLUDING the pre-set ride height and each individual rider's needs & wants, then you'd probably do just as well if not better by throwing a dart at a dart board while blindfolded and using whatever score you might get as your set pressure choice,
cos as soon as you start to ride the ACS will adjust the air bag pressure to maintain the pre-set Ride Height! :banghead:
So if
YOU think it feels better for
YOU at 20 psi or even at 70 psi, you'll be negating the pre-set ride height for your Spyder, but you
can do that if you want by just bypassing all the auto stuff that will either vary it &/or give you grief, install a direct air line from the Schraeder valve to the air bag, and use
YOUR preferred pressure, adjusting as you feel fit when your load &/or riding conditions vary- and possibly adjusting your ride height too!
