GS1000G fork pressure low!

[feelergaugephil]

I put new seals in and used a connecter line to air up the front forks on one valve.
I run it at 15-18 psi, which it handles perfect, the problem is, if I leave it for more than a few days there is no air left and the forks bottom out, I have checked for air leaks and cannot find one, should I remove the double line and just use the fork top inlet themselves.
I was also thinking of getting progressive springs in the front, anyone have these? I have the progressive rears.....

I put the progressives on the front and am very happy with them. Even though the seals were still OK I do not run air anymore. The only downside to them is getting the spacer length correct for the preload. There are a ton of posts on the subject but few specific spacer recommendations by model. Check the progressive web site for directions and they might have a recommendation. As usual for me they did not for my 1100 so I went with thier basic formula and am considering adding a little more length to decrease the sag. Hagon also sells the replacement fork springs and I might try them for one of my other bikes.

I run 15psi in mine all the time and it retains that pressure for a long time, up to two months. If I notice the pressure is down I top it up, but it has held between oil changes. You must have a small leak somewhere, remember it is not a lot of air in there and will probably not be like a tire and blow bubbles when you look for it with soapy water.

I went with the Progressive after I blew out new fork seals.
