Default scammy tire problem HELP

I have already replaced the left rear tire on my o4 scammy and now after riding this weekend my right front tire is losing air pressure, i did tip the quad on the right side this weekend riding in the sand my dealer told me that sand can get in the rim and cause the glue on the rim to lose air... could the force on coming down on the right side of quad cause the tire to lose air or break the seal and if now what do i do to fix it ????????????? thank you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

it could be leaking around the bead,ive had sticks wedge in there and make them leak..the best way of finding out where its comming from is to tke it off and spray water on it like i said,when you see bubbles thats where the leak is[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] if its leaking around the bead you will have to pop the bead,clean the wheel and tire and pop it back on..maybe you just ran over a nail or something?
