Have a slow leak in my back tire. Or maybe not so slow - put 40 psi in the morning, next morning is about 25 psi. Anyway, unless I find that the valve insert is the problem, what are my options? The tire is at about 50% wear. The local auto tire shop fixes flats for free, but I doubt I'll find that sort of deal for a scoot.

Fully expected the above precedures to reveal the leak. Set the bike on the center stand, put a pan of soapy water under the tire, and thoroughly wetted the sidewalls, beads, and valve area with water. Nothing!

I think I will repeat the test with more air pressure in the tire. How many PSI is too much for this short test? Can I put 60 lbs in without blowing the tire?
