Good Morning Fellow Dogs,

I noticed that my front tire was completely deflated this morning. Tried to find anything that could have penetrated tire but nothing. Noticed air seeping through at a small section on the edge of tire\outer rim. There is a slight smiley on the rim but never had any problems before. Replaced tire aproximately 1000km ago where it could have started giving problems, previous tire was absolutely fine with no air leakage.

Took bike to Full Throttle and they confirmed my suspicion. They were unable to repair rim\tire and indicated that i need to replace. Luckily made it to the office this morning.

Will it be possible to repair rim and if so, where can i go? If not, does anyone have a spare front rim for 1150 GSA?

Thank You
