Got me thinking has anyone else had this issue ?
On the Ape forum and it came up on an RSV4 OEM rim , it also happened to me !
My rear was losing psi could not find any visual damage or any leak around valve stem .
Until it went in the pool to reveal a tell tale stream of bubbles .
There was a crack 3/4 around the base of one of the spokes , never crashed or hit anything just a fatigue I would guess .
Looked into getting it welded but decided against it , the thought would always be in the back of my mind with the throttle pinned heading North of 260 km
down the straight hopping it doesn't fail .So in the bin it went .
Googled it without reading them noticed a few posts about the same issue
So if you have a leak check it out carefully .
FYI it was the rear rim .
