I guess I should take some consolation in the fact that everybody else is experiencing the same thing, but I still find it kind of odd. I know that all tires/wheels will lose air over time, but I don't recall having another bike (or car) that loses that much that quickly.
I've also heard many times over the years that cast wheels can be porous, but every sportbike I've had has had cast wheels, and still, nothing leaky like this (other than a front on an old Ducati, which went away after a tire change). My presently-owned '12 Bonneville has cast wheels, too, and it only loses that much in about 4-6 months (depending on weather/time of year/etc.).
I guess I'll just try to keep an eye on them - thanks for the input, guys -
