coxy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 hi i have had an 06 gasser 250 for about 4-5 months now and ever since i bought it it had a slow puncture, i have recently had the tyre off on a few occasions to clean it out etc and put it back on and popped it onto its bead, after doing this the tyre still goes down between the rim and tyre. any help would be appreciated as i am now stuck for ideas coxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have you tried inflating it up to about 20 psi and then coating it with soapy water to see where the air's escaping from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Pump it up, get it in the bath, then mark the rim where the air is escaping. Get the tyre off and have a good look at the rim. You sure it's not through the spokes, that's the most common problem. If it does turn out to be that have a search, there have been plenty of discussions on that.

essex rider Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 if your really stupid (sure your not ) pump it up to about 30-40 psi (take it to a tyre shop and put it in their cage) and it will bead properly If it still leeks a new anodized talon rim is what id suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex rider Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 good idea!! no ones thought of that yet What tyre is it because apparently the Vrubber ones are really soft so these may create a nice seal fo you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Really unusual, unless there's some muck in between tyre and rim. Anything on the rim? Any marks, dints? I would try some wet and dry on the inside of the rim before you do anything more drastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
