Just had a second rear tire flat within 4 months. Unable to find a puncture. I'm thinking it may be the valve stem separating from the tube? I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii. Temperature is 80 - 85 degress F, street riding, around 1500, about 30 minute ride, max speed 45 MPH. Rear tire just went flat as I was on my street about 20 feet from my driveway. Had checked the tire pressure earler, rear was around 32-34 PSI and front around 25-27, used the gauge on the air hose at the gas station. The first rear flat was a similar situation except it was in the morning with temperatures in the 70's F. For the first flat I took the rear wheel off and took it to the dealer to change out ($90.00). The dealer was unable to determine the exact cause and did not indicate if the valve seperated from the tube.
