People,
I have a 2009 Softail Custom. New off the Stealer floor last December.
Has just travelled a tad under 8000ks.
Tyre pressure (and air retention) was all good until about 4 weeks ago,
Now I have a slow leak somewhere. Rear tyre is losing about 20psi of air in a week.
Optimum psi is 38 and that is what I put back into it each time.
Told my Stealer about the slow leak - they checked it out found no valve damage - no nails or other foreign objects were seen.
Anyone got any suggestions in an atempt to remedy, thanks!!
Hey Ando & Robo - thanks for your input. Appreciated.
Burto - They did not charge me.
Gmeikle & Chromer - Many thanks for you considerations.
However Gents - Everytime I stopped anywhere I gave the rear tyre the once over.
This arvo was giving my ride a clean up and of course 'back tyre once over'.
Bingo - there it was a nail embedded in the gully of a cross tread near the centre of the tyre.
I will be ringing the Stealer on Monday; telling the Workshop Manager what I found and what his staff member missed.
However, the thread is not wasted.
All good 'hints, tips & advice' provided by the Boyz.
Cheers Big Ears.
Ok Bano - lock this thread - Dennis the Menace is at it again.
Followed by a back up act
