You may have folded the tire and got a pinch which led to a small hole or your bead is not set all the way. Is it both tires or just one?

It's all 4 tires, but they all leak at different levels....

if it is the bead, or even if it isn't, how can I reset them?

I wonder if while you were riding some beads of sand got caught between the rim and the tire leaving a tiny gap for the air to leak.

Take them off of the quad and put about 7-10psi and then hold them underwater. To reset the bead you might need to get the tires completely free of the bead and then clean the bead and reset with a bunch of air pressure. I recommend having it done. It is not fun to try to do them in the garage.

I think Stupidbots idea is right, my riding buddy had an issue with one of his tires leaking air slowly. after fighting with it with slime and such for awhile. He had it taken off of the rim and there was a tiny piece of a stick trapped in the bead that was causing the leak. You couldn't see it while the tire was mounted and afterward he no longer had the issue.

That sounds like it could be the problem. Maybe also use some beadsealer. You could always just grab a spray bottle of water and spray the area to see if you see any leaks.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      2008 Brute Force 650, clutch is slow to engage
      By Coyote251
      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.
