With both of my Tri-Glides, they never went down to zero if thats what you are asking,
They will drop a pound or two every few months...At least mine did...

On my 2016 TGU the first 6 months I had it they would bleed down from 20 to 10 or so in a couple of weeks. Finally I decided to check the valve core in the valve stem. It was not as tight as I thought it should be. I tightened it and ever since I very seldom have to mess with it unless it is due to hot to cold weather temps. Even then it is never over a lb or two. It has set for several months without changing more than 1 lb. Of course if you tighten it too much you can ruin it, but they are cheap.

Current ride : 2021 FREEWHEELER M8, oldest ride 1960 FL
Both the Wife/I have HD trikes - rarely ever add air to them - we ride solo so COULD that
be a factor? Additionally both are 2010's with ORIGINAL shocks........(knock on wood).
The bottom line ... if you're loosing at at fast rate ... you have a leak.
Every couple of weeks, about 2 lbs. Jim

My 15 had the shocks replaced 2 years ago. Been slightly leaking ever since. I took it to the shop and they "reworked" all the connections. They told me it hasn't leaked in a week now. If they will ever get my trunk lock in I will pick it up and see. I feel like they didn't make a good hose connection on one of the shocks when replaced. But I felt it was time to fix it when it leaked 5 lbs overnight.
