I dropped off my bike to have the charging harness recall done, and while it was there I had them check on a slow leak on the rear. After replacing the tire and the valve stem it is still leaking. So, I get a brand new wheel. Now if this could only happen every 1000 or so, I will save alot on tires. Has anyone heard of this problem before? I did a search and got nothing. |

My front wheel has always leaked pressure despite several tire changes with new stems. No new wheel for me though. Not sure why that happens. Porous metal in the casting? |

mountainstorm You may want to see your dealer about a replacement. Seems like they shouldn't have an issue with giving it to you. |

My rear tire has been leaking 2 lbs per day since the bike was new. Found a 6 inch strip along the rim & tire leaking. HD of Baltimore ordered a new tire 3/11/10. I used snoop as my leak detector. |

For schizzle? Did you see the smoke leaking out or just smell it? (Message edited by MountainStorm on March 24, 2010) |
