Rear -> 200kpa - 280kpa

Hi Guys,

 

Recently my tyres keep deflating but not entirely flat. The rear tyre reads 150+kpa before pumping air.

 

I pumped 280kpa. After a week or so, my pressure reading on the rear tyre reads 150+kpa again. Is this common?

 

Should i change tyres or the tyre valve? Thanks.

You've got a slow puncture. Bring to a shop and just tell the mechanic what u said in your post.

Or if you're feeling adventurous, there's always the old 'soap' method. Spray soapy water portion by portion on the tire and see if bubbles are formed. Pay attention to shiny bits of crap that you might've inadvertently pick up while riding. Can also check the valve the same way.

Then only decide the next step once you've identified the leak source.

Have fun.

Thanks bro for the advice. Most probably could be the valve. Damn slow puncture.

I need to change my Tyres soon for my CB400 Spec III.. Please give comments and suggestions..

Am a city commuter, dont really lup corners much.. but sometimes maybe a bit aggressive rider, using bike as a work transport. Main concern will be wet weather grip and mileage. advice on price range will be nice.

 

Looking at these 3 sets

Metz Sportec M5

Metz Roadtec Z8

Michelin Pilot Road 3

If 80% straight road, take Z8

 

If u flick around often n demand grip, take M5

 

Grip wise M5 is better than Z8..

 

Milage wise I believe Z8 will give u more km as it's harder compound

 

On my 3rd set of M5 .. Averaging ard 22k km each set, can go more

Tyre profile, M5 more pointy, easier to flick ard

 

Z8 more flatter in middle ..

 

 

PR3 no comment as I have not use it

Thanx for the advice HaiR1, Its your strong support of Sportec M5 that am so tempted to change to that.

 

My road to work are mostly long straight expressway. avg around 50km a day. thus if a set of M5 can avg 22k km, that should last me around 2 years.

The only concern with M5 is that am under utilizing it, I worry i will have uneven wear rate, and wear out the spine of the tyres before the sides.

Shud be okay ...

 

Just remember to check n maintain the tyre pressure

 

 

Tyre botak middle got few causes.. One of it is the incorrect tyre pressure

 

 

M5 have 3 compound, hard center - medium side - soft edge

 

Z8 have 2 compound, hard center - medium side

[HaiR1]

I too used it for work commuting... N I often travel to Genting n Nshw

 

Great tyre.. Never fail me

 

Wet weather grip is awesome..
