i ordered the rear fast trakkers for my 400 a few months ago and one of the tires wont hold air. it goes flat in about a day. they said they will check if its defected then go from there but i dont want to lose riding time and money i would have to pay to ship them back.

i have takin them to the honda shop a few times to have them put on and on one of the times they even put the slim in it and it still wont hold air.

what should i do?

Take it to Wal-Mart Tire Lube Express and they have this nasty junk that is called bead sealer. It will fix it right up. They knock the tire off the bead and wipe the junk around it and then pop it back on. It is like a 3 min process and it will fix it right up.
The slime only works on holes in the tires not the beads.

have u found the hole in it or will it not stay on the bead because if u found a hole or suspect there is a hole go down to your local gas station(that doubles as a garage) and they will fix it up for ya

it costs 4$

Hmm....well, your wheel isnt dented up anywhere around the bead is it? I had a set ordered from RockyMtn, set of Razrs, for the 250 bout a year ago and never had problems with em. :ermm: Slime should seal any hole that isnt bigger than the size of an average nail, otherwise just plug it. Otherwise I cant help ya.

it might be the bead seal around the rim. it might be letting out air. i orderd razr from rockymoutain and had the local tire dealer here put them on my stock rims and they are fine.

i got a set of holeshot xcr's and one tire was like that. I took it to a tire shop and for $5 they bead sealled the tire and never a problem after.

i also got a set of xcr's on .190 rims from rocky mountain and had one bead leaking after like 1-2 rides. had a buddy put some bead sealer on it and haven't had a problem since.

ya only one of my tires leaks. its right on the edge where the rim and tire meets. so its not a hole.

what other places will put the bead sealer on a four wheeler tire besides walmart?

thanks for all the help

Most places that do tires should have some.
