Alright so yesterday morning i pull the 400 out to go riding. Look at the left tire look at the right tire and the im like crap. So i pull it up to the house and knock the tire off and check the bead for a leak i fill the tire up with 18lbs of air and put some Detktor on it. I see nothing around the bead. I see no holes on the tire or in it. I may try soapy water 2morrow all over the wheel not to waste the Detktor, i am almost convinced its the bead. Its a fairly slow leak. I can ride for about 1hr on it without having to pump it up. Then just a few pumps and back up to normal presure. I just bought the rims from RM ATV 3days ago so i can see how the problem could arise. Today i filled it up with 22lbs and i saw no increase. I may just break the bead 2morrow and rebead it. I dont want to return them but if worst come to worst i will.
N e help would be appreciated.

Call Ghostbusters and ask for Slimer. Have the gooey little spud roll around on the inside of your tire to stop the leak!

Interesting... My Slimer told me only 16 - 18 pumps. Each pump equalying an ounce, this is only 4 quarter pounders at McDonalds! Half of what they asked you to do. I wonder why they suggested a double dowse?
