New tyre leak
The front tyre on my new SH300 is leaking slowly. It seems to be coming out at the rim, so what would the likely cause be? I'm hoping it's a fitment issue and I won't have to pay. The tyre's only done 80 miles and I have driven it carefully.

It will probably settle down in a few weeks by itself, if not take it back to be re-seated.

Re: New tyre leak
Thanks Dave, it's going in on Thursday to have heated grips fitted. They have an offer on at present, so not worth doing it myself. Especially as the panels are so tight. I'll see what they say.

Re: New tyre leak
Whack it up to 50-60psi, just briefly, let it down to what it should be, and see if that seals it.
