OK Guys,
I took my CR500AF to the track today for the first time (just got it two weeks ago) and got a flat rear tire within 10 laps. Its a 19" with one rim lock on it and 14lbs of pressure. Is this common on these bikes with the 19" rim. I have ridden my other bike YZ450F with this same set up and never got a flat. Thanks L8R Mark

Make sure all the spokes are tight. I also use good duct tape around the rim . Pull the tube out . When you find your leak it should tell you what went wrong. I've had many bikes with 19" rims and never hand a flat problem. I would make sure you didn't tear the valve stem, if so I would ad a second rim lock.

Well I took the tire of and found a 4" piece of steel rod inside. Put four holes in my tube. Oh well at least I know what it was. L8R Mark
