My wife and I headed out for our late honeymoon. It was supposed to be a 3-week trip and about 4000 miles. She was on her 2008 Concours, and me on my 2022 KLR 650, which just had new tires and tubes installed. About an hour into the trip, my bike started wobbling. It got worse so we pulled over and found that my tube popped for some reason. Now my wallet is $630 lighter from the tow and I’m back home with my bike parked an hour away so that it can get serviced. Hopefully we make it more than 50 miles tomorrow.

      Lower than I’d run but not so low that it would’ve been a risk of a flat from PSI alone. If there are no signs of a puncture then the shop that did the install probably pinched it.

        Yeah I raised it slightly to 32. When the tube was removed, it was creased along the whole circumference and had little pinholes all along the crease. Definitely pinched.
