Missing my GZ250...
 
I've only had my Suzi since April 1st but I feel lost without her. She's been in the shop for the last 4 days as they try to discover why I keep losing tire pressure. I was finding myself losing 6-7 pounds every couple days in both tires...seemed too much even with the colder weather at night. Every time I step out into the garage as I'm leaving the house I see this big empty spot where my Suzi used to sit! :shocked: Never thought I would feel this way about a machine! Can't wait to pick her up and get some more practice as the weather has been sunny and warm in Central New York!

That should'nt be too much of an issue. Ony a few things it could be. Hope you get back on the road soon.

You have tubes in your tires, right?

Four days? That stinks! Do you think they keep putting off doing the job because you're a woman? Anyone more than a trained chimpanzee should be able to sort that out in a couple of hours, tops! :mad:

sounds like bad tubes or bad valve stems to me, after you took your bike in if you had a appointment they should have your bike back to you that day or the next day.

you get a used bike you never know what might happen, some one might see that the tires say tubeless on them and not realize that thy still need a tube on spoked wheels. it is actually a legit question if you ask me.

but still kind of funny.

Absolutely yes, on both counts.

One would think, however, that a competent shop could figure out air loss in the tires in a LOT less than 4 days.

I think I'd be getting a little upset by now..........OK, MORE than a little. :skull:

I think you may need to call them, i have have called a shop many times to find out your car has been done for a while, you can come and pick it up any time. because they were too damn lazy to call me and tell me that it was finished

Believe me, in the 30+ years of turning wrenches I have seen my share of "funny" things. O_o
