Need some help friends. I got my new Roketa MC-79-250. It seems to be bottoming out on me when riding. I noticed it has the rear air shocks with the reservoirs. Under the reservoir, it had a rubber plug i pulled off. It looks like it has a tire like air valve. Do i just need to add air to the shocks through this valve? Its definately not right when riding. It clunks on bumps, and seems bouncy. I am hoping i just need to add some air. If so, and idea what kind of pressure it should be. THANKS for any help. Keep Scootin
Paul

Noone knows this?  I figured someone else had rear air shocks and knew about it. I am going to just put a lil air in there and keep testing it then. My last scoot had sealed gas shocks. So wasnt a issue. IF i cant figure it out. I guess i can order some stock 54B shocks for it. They are sealed. |

Use low pressure with a hand pump start very low and slowly increase until its good. I had an air shock before I think the max was around 12psi. That was on a GL500 though. You will want a pump with a gauge because checking the pressure on such a small volume will alter it significantly

Got it. I pushed the valve and released the tiny bit of air that was in them. I then pumped them up to about 12 psi. Seems all better. I also determined that every single rattle and clank i have on the scoot is from the center stand. So problem solved. Center stand removed. Only 1 bolt to put back on when service time.
