Hey all, I would be putting this in the General Tech Threads but for some reason I am seeing a database error with the Forums. Just a quick question. Just bout a 2010 klx 250s in Nov. Been riding on rig roads and some highway until the west Texas winter set in. Today i noticed my tire was flat in the rear so i assumed maybe it was because the below freezing weather has caused it to lose some pressure. But after a little soapy water i came to find that air was leaking where a spoke meets the rim. I'm assuming its a punctured tube and the easiest place for it to leak is around the spokes. Am I correct here?

 

Yes.
If you've never fixed one before, now's the time. It's not hard to do yourself.

 

Yeah, you can see air come from the schader valve hole, a spoke hole, a rim lock hole, or all three. Do like ol' klx is suggesting and fix it yourself. Go to Youtube and research some of the many tire changing videos there that show excellent technique and the proper tools for job.

 

Thanks guys.
