[QUOTE="SMC, post: 418001, member: 1706"] :blink: Just a thought, I had a situation where I was losing air pressure out of my front tire. Checked, no nails, screws, slow leaks in tire and rim...hmmm. Turned out that the front air valve assembly had been installed incorrectly and the rubber grommet that seated around the stem had been "crimped" and finally was beginning to let go. Just glad it didn't let go on the highway and noticed it while working on the bike in garage. Had to remove the front wheel and bring to a local Yamaha dealer to have a new valve installed. End of problem, has been good for 5,000 miles so far and will be changing to new set of tires in a couple of weeks in preparation for 5,000 mile journey in first two weeks of June. [/QUOTE]
