 Failure of a replacement motorcycle tire innertube. i have a 2000 harley davidson sportster. the front wheel is a spoke wheel with a tube type tire. about 6 months ago, i had the front tire and tube replaced by a reputable motorcycle dealer. all was well until may 12 when i sensed that handling had degraded. i determined that the front tire pressure was near zero. i added air to the recommended pressure and carefully monitored pressure. i could see no defect. a leak of more than a few psi/hr was evident. i took the motorcycle to the dealer who originally installed the new tire and tube for repair. the dealer found that the tube had a split in it along the mold parting line. this defect could have had serious consequences if i had not sensed i had a problem. the dealer is grand prix motorsports of littleton colorado. the dealer informed me that the tube originally installed, ( and likely now present) is made by or for malcolm smith racing (msr). it is a heavy duty tube model 288208. at the time of service on may 12, i was told that the dealer has seen other motorcycle tubes that have split on the mold parting line. a contact at the motorcycle dealer is chris stinson (303) 761-2471. mailing address is grand prix motorsports, 3105 w. county line road, littleton, co 80129. please note..the tire on this bike is a dunlop 402 in 90 x 21 size. the tire does not appear to have any defect. the only defect is in the tube mounted therein. *tr
