Re: How much air in rear suspension ?
Manual says 40 to 50 psi, sounds like a lot that is why I am asking. I will call dealer tomorrow.

Re: How much air in rear suspension ?
I started with 35 lbs in my 09 Ultra with two up. I am now at 42 - 45 lbs and it is a very nice ride two up at this level. To me this is a perfect level. We are about 350 total. (Mostly me)
 In my 09 50 lbs is fine. It is a new suspension.

The different years run differing pressures. It's not one size fits all any more.
