Hello everyone, I hope you all are OK.
it's great to know you all have the same passion for the kz. I've had a 750 e1 now for many years now. And dipist there strange quarks, and unfoanably problems, they are a dam fine bike.
I just wish to ask does anyone know how to seal a tire on the rim, as I'm having to inflate every time I go out.
TIA

If the rim is intended for "tubeless" use then the most common reason for losing pressure is corrosion on the rim or a leaky valve

Fill a spray bottle with soapy water, pump up the tire to 40 psi, and spray all around until you find the leak source. Tire valve maybe? Or between the tire and rim, particularly if the tire isn't seated. Or, again, maybe a nail in the tire?

Try Nessisms suggestion first.

Could be dirt in the bead.

You could also try this; if you can find the max pressure for that tire which may be printed on the tire itself then pump to that pressure and leave it overnight. Might work to seat it

Agreed, the 750e1 is a damn fine bike
