CrazyHorse Posted February 15, 2007 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2007 Has anyone tried to modify and to attempt to use the on board air compressor for the forks,rear shock and as a possible tire inflator? Or is not up up to snuff like not enough air pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted February 15, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 15, 2007 Has anyone tried to modify and to attempt to use the on board air compressor for the forks,rear shock and as a possible tire inflator? Or is not up up to snuff like not enough air pressure? I think there will problems with the compressor timing out (for compressor motor protection), giving an E3 error. Remember these units are designed for very small air quanities & not tire filling. But if it was to be done, it would need to be tapped into the rear shock line (higher pressure). This would take such a long time, to fill / top up a tire where it is not pratical under normal conditions. But may possibly be good enough, to continue re-inflating a tire after plugging it & after exhausting available CO2 cartriges, in the middle of nowhere.
