Tire pressure

If it went down 6 pounds over the 3 days he checked, yes that is not normal. But I am not basing my call on adding 2 pounds 3 days in a row.
You lose a little just checking and hard to get just 2 pounds in . And then accuracy.
Nothing I am saying here should be hair on fire.
Check it after a few days.

I suppose it's possible that I am being a little OCD on the tire pressure. This is something I watch closely on all my vehicles. It comes from my autocross days when 0.5 psi up or down can literally be difference between 1st and 4th. It's also a new bike and I am new to Harley and haven't had a bike in over 15 years. I do appreciate all the suggestions and help. I will continue to watch the pressures, but if they continue to fall daily, I will take it in. That's what warranties are for right?

I put my trike away late in November 2022. Got a chance to uncover and ride it today - TPMS shows 41 in the front and 26 in the rear - just where I left them.
Standard garage - not heated but it does stay around 50 in the winter. I also have mu tires on carpet. Hopefully, you don't have a nail in both tires.
Since you mentioned a new bike - you might want to take it in for serviice and have them take a look at it.

No, haven't had time yet. Been working too much. I'll try to get to it tonight. The other suggestions of leaving it sit for a while are happening whether I wanted to or not. Work is very annoying when there are other things you'd rather be doing.

I wouldn't spray it. Unless you plan on removing the tire and fixing yourself. Look at in a few days, to see if it really went down a few pounds.
I would look to make sure there are no nails or screws in it, which are your problem. If not I would call the dealer and ask if covered under warranty, bring in if it is. If not, pull the wheel and bring it in to be looked at.
Myself, I don't like taking tires off rims without a machine, So I would just bring it in.
If they say covered under warrantry, I would still try and verify no nail, or they will charge you to remove the tire. Unless that is what you want.
This has gotten way to complicated.
