My rear motorcycle tire gradually loses air pressure but makes no hissing sounds. How do I repair it?

Answer:

Squirt soapy water all over it and look for a spot where tiny bubbles are forming. That's where the leak is, you may find a nail or something stuck in the tire. If you're lucky, you can repair it with a tire repair kit from the auto parts store. With the kit, you bore out the place where the leak is with a tool provided, then, use a rubber plug with glue that is inserted into the hole with another tool (also provided). Then you have to refill the tire. Hope you get back on the road before it's too cold!
put air in it and with soapy water wet it down and watch for bubbles add a few pounds ove what you ride at and make the soap heavy and watch either is has a nail or it might be at valve stem be easyier if one could spin th etire and look at it or lay it down but dont have to. just wet it down and move the tire and lookroad service guy is what i do every day
