I would guess you have a small nail or someting? | ||

valve stem loose? | ||

Always a chance there is a pin hole in the wheel casting as well. | ||

Soapy water is your friend in this situation. I bet you have a sliver of metal in your tire. | ||

Regarding the battery, once you get it charged up, use a battery tender. It'll make life much easier and one less thing to worry about. | ||

Make sure the valve core is tight or better yet, just replace it. | ||

Well the reason I said pin hole is about 4 yrs ago I bought an xb9 wrecked and fixed it to resell and the front tire keep going down and i soaped the tire and wheel and also had a pin hole by a spoke. Heck maybe that's how the bike got wrecked low front tire. | ||

valve core yes,that's what I meant. My buddy's Gixxer was down to 6-7 lbs of air mysteriously and it was a loose valve stem core. I would bet that's the problem. It could be loose or just plain leaky. Extremely easy to tighten and or replace.} |
