Tire Pressure...

I have only had my bike for 2 months. The dealer said that they put new tires on the bike and and sure looked new. I seem to have to put air in my tires every two weeks. Not much needed in the back; however, the front seems to lose a lot in two weeks. Is this normal? I typically only take the bike out on weekends so it does sit a lot. Any insight is appreciated!

Spoke rims? These seem to have more issues.

It sounds like they didn't seal the tire right, or if tubed it sounds like there is a leak in it.

Thanks to all. I check it every time I ride and add air before going out. Only lasts about a week or so. I will have the service department check it out to make sure that there is not a bigger issue!

Welcome from West Michigan. If the service dept tells you it is normal you can always check with a local indy or other dealership.

Welcome from Langley. Try the "Ride On" tire sealant I use it and never lose air. It will also balance your wheels at the same time.
