What is a common indication that your rear tire has gone flat?

A common indication that your rear tire has gone flat is the back of the motorcycle jerking or swaying. This physical movement occurs because the balance and stability of the motorcycle are compromised when a tire loses air pressure. A flat tire alters how the motorcycle handles, making it difficult to maintain control, resulting in noticeable jerking or swaying motions.

While other signs might suggest a tire issue or different mechanical problem, such as hearing a hissing sound or the motorcycle tilting to one side, these are not as directly representative of a flat tire as the instability felt while riding. The motorcycle engine sputtering indicates an entirely different type of issue, typically related to fuel or ignition problems rather than tire issues.
