Airride Suspension

[BigSimp]

I have a 06 Busa with air ride.  I am looking for a kickstand that will work so I dont have to hold my bike when the suspension is going down or is going back up.

I have dapincci air-ride on mine. Used a billet chrome stand -SHORT style. Bike sits almost straight up when air down. An adjustable short stand my work better if you are using a remote function. I have yet to ever work the air and not hold onto the bike.

I have been looking into the air-ride. Can you tell me how does the bike handle. Are you still running oe sixe tires?

I have the Dapincci air-ride. Two chamber: 1 for height and 1 for comfort setting. Lets simplify that, raise bike up to max, then start setting the comfort side that draws the bike back down pressurizing the air cylinder. It takes some riding time to figure out where you want to set the comfort ( two hi or solo, stiff or soft). I installed dual air gauges to monitor this. Once you know that, set it to that, but if the hight its to hi, just let her down some.

I rode stock with the air-ride for 4 months and liked it. I now have 10inch stretch and a 330 tire. I ride with the air all up getting it high helps with turns.

Currantly working on a instant up. The on board compressor tends to take about a min to raise full hieght. Instant up will take one second, yea one second to raise 9 inches.....

No its not viagra, but an empty Co2 bottle for an air tank filled by the onboard compressor.

hey bigrod,
can you add a pic of your gauges and any more info on that instant up.

As requested. The guages are under work right now. For the Dapincci air-ride...the height gauge is now a 200 psi that broke. Short explain: air all up no rider= 110psi, comfort side compressed to 70psi still no rider..the hieght is pressurized to 160psi, now with me ( 210 lbs) pressure is 200, Then add a passenger and it tops to 250 psi on the hight side. Yea breaking the gauge. Working on a Dynotune digi pressure guage that will monitor up to 1000 psi. A 100 psi guage is fine for the comfort side of the system. *NOTE this is with the Dapincci system. OThers like tricky or FX do not have the comfort side settings that keep changing the raise pressure. The Dapincci two sides work against eachother.

Now the instant UP. I have a MPS racing 1 lb air bottle installed in the tail with a 110/150 pressure switch. When the bottel pressure drops to 110 psi the switch turns on the compressor and at 150 psi the switch turns off the compressor. All wired to 12v ignition so the key has to be on to run the compressor. Now with volume of air and 150psi when I hit the toggle the bike UPs in 1 second to full, then hit toggle for comfort and set it to 70 psi. No more waiting for the compressor to raise the bike and ride. I can raise the bike 1 to 1-1/2 time before the air supply is out. Biggest issue still looking into.....150 psi is not enough pressure to raise the bike quickly with me onit.
