When I bought my HO in January we had about 3 feet of snow so I threw it in the shed for better days.A few days later I noticed that it had a flat tire but never thought anything of it.Now spring is here and I've been having to pump the sucker up every few days.Today I decided to rip it off and take it in to get fixed(PO'd that I was fixing a BRAND NEW tire,but o well.)Anyway it turns out the tire is faulty,leaking in 2 places from the sidewall.Anyone else have this problem on a new bike and is this covered by warranty?

I have had slow leaks in both my atvs on at least one tire. I used a container of slime in each one and it cured the problem. In both of my cases, it was after some rugged rides. I would take it back to the dealer and explain that it has hardly been rode and the tire is defective. The dealer should get it replaced as it was a manufacturing defect and not rider induced. Hope you get it fixed.

 

A buddy of mine had a new 00 SP with the Goodyears w/ the P's on the side. He had 3-4 flats in the 6 months before he sold it. They were all in the sidewalls.
