Hi,
One of my rear tires on my Scrambler 500 is always runing flat, I checked for damage but there was no vissible damage.
I inflate my tires to 400 grams? one of my friends has a Bombardier DS 650 with the same problem.
He told me fast cornering could let escape air with these low pressure tires ?
Does anyone had this problem?

 

You could use some kind of tire sealant to fix your problem. Only thing is that they leave a residue inside the tire and wheel that is tough to clean if you decide to change tires or wheels. I've never tried SLIME, but I have only heard good things about it. I usually use that aerosol stuff in a can that seals + inflates, but supposedly it dries in the tire, so it doesnt fix future leaks and makes a big mess. The Slime stays wet so it reseals, but some people say any type of sealant can un-balance your tire.

So if you can't find the leak (valve stem, tiny hole, etc), i'd say that sealant would be the way to go.

Take the tire off, fill it up with air, and submerge it in a tank of water. If you have a leak, you should see air bubbles from the source. Look carefully at the bead of the rim. A lot of times you can get dirt or debris stuck in the bead

 

Had the same problem with a front tire. Like BigBad says, the tank is the best way to check. On my tire it was the valve core. Just happened to have 4 new stems in the truck, so we swapped them out and didn't have to take the tire off. Fixed the problem.

 

ya i have 2 stock tires that do it now, both rears, otherwise my fronts have plugs in them. They all have holes in them but idc, i only use them in the winter and i ride rarely in the winter, plus i have my holeshots, but mine first started loosing air cuz i would get grass caught in the rim and i had clipped a few trees, which bent my rim up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
