I'm now to SXS's (5 years, 2 machines) and haven't had this issue before. I keep my KRX in Arizona Oct-Jun. Due to a number of factors I didn't ride it from Mar-May this year, and when I uncovered it, one tire was noticeably low (4.5 lbs psi), the rest were around 9.5-10).

So is this a headlock issue? Should I try Slime? My other SxS has never had this problem.

You need to retorque the bolts to 41 foot pounds.

My buddy had this issue with his krx dealer replaced all his tires

That's way below what any tire manufacture would consider a leak. Check your beadlock bolt's, but I wouldn't put anymore effort into it than that.

if ur having problems with leaking bead locks, I would remove the rings nd make sure the the inner part of the ring is real clean with no damage n the rim where the bead lock ring fits onto the rim is real clean n no damage. then install all bolts hand tight each one then get ur torque wrench n what i do is start off with torqueing each bolt 5 lbs and torque each bolt in a cross pattern never side by side then after u torque them all with 5 lbs then go to 10 lbs then 20 then 30 then 41 lbs then u should be good. After u drive on them then re torque each bolt again to 41 lbs u will see how loose they get. I re torque or re check the torque 2 more times after driving on them again n again. Just to make sure.

I know this is old but have to comment on 2 things. Beadlocks require a clean inner tire wall and mounting surface and the regular wheels require a clean outer tire and clean inner wheel surface. The second thing, NEVER PUT Slime in your tire! All tire sealants are corrosive to bare aluminum and alloys. Can you use tire sealant? Yes, but you have to paint/powder coat/tape up the wheel and ensure there is nothing exposed or else:

I carry plugs. If the hole is big enough I have yet to see a plug not seal. Slime is a mess. I ve never used it and never will.

I carry no less than 30 plugs. The big ones.

Always been able to get back.

30! Thats alot....I think im going to buy a tire patch kit for inside the tire and get some nylon or safety wire so I can do sidewall stitches and patch jobs. It not a go to item when you have a spare but when you get back to camp or on a long trip it is important to get the busted tire to be usable as a spare emergency tire so your trip doesn't end. I have only done this once with a Humvee tire that we couldn't get a replacement for and it lasted another few months with pressure holding...Its pretty simple and in the manual for military humvees. Reminds me I need some nylon cord for plastic body panels too

tire sealant really only works at the bottom of the tire like inside of where the tread is, l guess l am saying it right. because when the tire spins it throws the sealant outward so the bead area will not get the full effect of the sealant. Plus like others have said sealant is a mess n yes it loves to eat alum. Just make sure the beads are very clean n if u have gouges or burrs on the beadlocks from hitting rocks just make sure u sand them out or l like using the file.

Beadlock rings have nothing to do with sealing the tire. You could drill holes in it and it wouldn't make a difference. All it needs to be is tight. Beadlocks often leak because the tire now seals against the rim on the inside of the bead, something it was never designed to do. The inside of the bead is not smooth and it's luck of the draw if you get one that seals good. UTV beadlocks are getting much more popular and soon we will see tires designed for beadlocks and most of the slow leak issues will go away.

I had a slow Leak issue and it was the bolts not torqued enough. Have not had to put air in them in months now

Flat Out by Multi Seal is fine for aluminum rims. Its non corrosive. It’s not messy. I run one 32-oz. bottle per wheel.
