Front tire bad valve stem. Leaks 4 psi a day. Off to the bike shop in the morning.The restraints are to keep me from killing the barncats who apparently have gymnastics competitions on the vehicles and bikes all night...

Yes we have about 25 adults and various litters. My Bridal Unit insists on over feeding them (88 pounds a month of Ballmarts cheapest cat food is the present rate of consumption). Thier nunbers increase exponentially every 63 days. They are feral and fairly vicious. We do not have any rodent problems...Regrettably my tax lady will not allow me to write the catfood off of the farm as pest control....

Ha, I was going to say that a couple cats are enough to keep rodents under control, and on a farm you might not have to feed them much cat food if they get enough mice. (etc.) With 25 feral cats around, if you suddenly disappear one day, we'll know why.

Back to the drawing board. Checked it yesterday and it was at 9 PSI. Called Yamaha dealer, they will redo for free and install a tube on Monday...

It's a shame they can't find the problem and fix it without putting a tube in.
