My 500 HO has been sitting for about 3 weeks in my unheated garage. Temps have been pretty cold here with several nights down in the teens and a couple night in the single digits. Today was mild around 40 degrees.
Anyway, decided to go for a little ride and noticed that 3 of my tires looked very low and the 4th tire was really low. This is the first time in 10 months of owning the quad that I've had low tire pressure. I didn't even have a low pressure tire gauge to see how much pressure remained. I put some air in them and just guessed on the pressure. I cruised around the neighborhood and did not notice any difference but didn't want to ride long until I got a proper tire gauge.
The last time I rode I was in some questionable locations where there may have been some broken glass. I guess what I'm wondering is if it is normal for tire pressure to drop significantly during very cold temps or is it likely that I have leaks in all tires from punctures from glass?
