I checked the pressure on my Air Shock and it was at 20-PSI For my weight and any additional load I might carry, it should have been set at 58-PSI So get the Owners Manual out and look at Page 66 or inside the Saddlebag and check your Pressure.

Good advice. Probably applies for all the adjustable air shock Victory bikes. I keep a pump with gauge in my saddlebag and check regularly. Also just recently put on a wireless sensor that transmit the air shock pressure to by tire pressure fob on my dash. I got in the habit of checking it the beginning of each days ride.

I bought the little Victory Pump, too. Great purchase in my opinion. Adjustments can be done anywhere. I haven't taken it out on the Road yet, so I'm anxious to see what kind of a difference it made.

Wow, that seems like A LOT of pressure. I weigh about 250, and it says I should run 15lbs. I'm on a CR, so maybe there's a difference there, but I would double check that pressure, unless you are humongous, and carry a tool chest on the back.

Hey man, that what it says to do for a XCT. Your Bike and mine are two different animals.

Buy the Fox pump, same as the Victory for half the price.

And for less then that you can go to wally world and buy a bike pump for like 9 bucks

...and does it fit into a Saddlebag?

I have played a lot with the pressure in the shock and find that more is better than less Vs what Vic says according to the weight chart.

I have a Vision, and I keep my rear shock at 70 PSI which is just under maximum pressure (72 PSI). I prefer a firm ride and it also helps keep my headlights, HID, and high-beams pointed level and out of oncoming vehicles eyes. I've never had an oncoming vehicle "flash" me to request that I turn off my HID headlight. If you exceed maximum pressure there is a good chance you'll blow out the seals in the shock. :em0200:
