The other day I was dinking with my bro on my pitpro 125. We rode for about 20 mins all up. About half an hour after stopping, i noticed the back tired was flat. Do you think it was punctured due to the weight? I'm 55kg and he's 80kg.

Thanks. :(
 
yeah it would have been to much weight while you were going over bumps.
 
no not at all if it was over weighted it would pop not go down slow. it will just be a punture or a **** tube.
 
most bikes say up to 120kg but i woudn't feel safe if i weighed over 100, well if i weighed over 100 i would be too embarrased to ride a motorbike and be riding a push bike to cut some fat. yeh u would have been over weight but that would make it go bang, not just slowly go down, or maybe make u bottom out too much......i would guess something got stuck in the tyre while u were riding...
cheers
 
Deffinately not too much weight!!!! Its because you dont have rim locks or somthing punctured it (pretty unlikely).

I got a flat tyre every week before I got rim locks, when you take it to get it changed ask them to put in a rim lock too.

bit of extra weight on it will flaten it out abit...
maybe a cheep tube just air slipping out somewhere
extra 80kgs pushing on you i rkn youd flaten out afta awhile

If only everyone else agreed with you :( I'll try her out though, thanks.

Are you serious?? It sounds alot more logical to me that some one heavy was standing on the pegs and when they hit the gutter the engine mounts broke?

Just get a rim lock and it will never happen again. :rolleyes:
