Hi. I read hear some topics about Showa TAC forks, but did not found information about inner and balance chamber air pressure problems. So, I have 2015 Suzuki rmz450 and the problem is, that the air pressure in inner and balance chambers rising when i´m riding. After 20 min ride air pressures rise about 3psi in inner and 5psi in balance chamber. I think that the problem is not air temperature rising, because now when I´m using nitrogen the problem has nod disappeared. Any ideas why is that so? Forks getting during the ride stiffer and stiffer!

Would be grateful for some help on this Smile

That is a common issue with air forks.

Isnt it because gas expands when heated?

No. Nitrogen does not expand like air. That´s why they put it in to shock.
