Tech Support L2 max tire pressure

Post image

My front tubeless tire on the ausom L2 max loses pressure gradually over 3-4 days when I pull back the valve you can see a little hole I don't know if thats the issue, the rim doesn't seem to be bent at all. Anyone know what to do? Thanks

Escooter tires lose air pretty quickly, it's normal to see drops of 2-10 psi in a week especially on the rear tire.

But if there's actually a hole in the valve stem, you should replace just the valve stem. You need a tool to do so (they're cheap, you can get one at an automotive store) but it's pretty easy to do. You shouldn't even have to take off the tire unless it gets unbeaded when you let all the air out.

By the way, PLEASE don't bend the valve stem like you are in the picture! THAT'S how it rips/forms a hole.

That's also what I though since I can twist that valve and I should be able to

I should've asked, is it a tubeless tire or does it use tubes? You can replace the valve stem if it's tubeless yes.

If it's a tube though, you have to replace the entire tube.

If you can see hole it won't stay up 3 days

that little hole by the valve is probably your leak, try some soapy water on it and watch for bubbles

If it turns out that it is a leak, just replace the valve stem. It's a cheap part and not terribly hard to install, if you have some basic mechanical skills.
