Well,
I didn't realize it until I got a few laps in at the MX track today, but my left rear tire was all but out of air. We were hitting some big jumps on Sunday, could this have knocked the air out of the tire? Anyone else have any problems with beads on your tires/rims? Thanks, JIM

My right rear was leaking around the bead, I reseated it but it didn't help. I put a small amount of sealant in both the rears and the problem is fixed. I've heard that the sealant will cause the tire to be out of balance and vibrate, but I have not experienced any problems with it.

After you put the tire slime in, just make sure you then ride the quad for a while to even all that stuff out and you should not have that problem.
