DO NOT put fix a flat in it !!!! That crap causes more problems than you ever know and theres a very good chance the store will reject any kind of warranty or charge you again for using it . Big no no on a bike .

Air it up and spray some soap water all over until you see bubbles. That is where it is leaking from. May be from around the rim, nail, valve stem or valve stem core. I once checked my air pressure the night before my I leaving for a day ride. Get out in the morning and my front tire is flat. i was pissed because I had a flat and missed a good group ride. I filled it with air and soaped it up no nothing. Watched it for a week without riding and it held air with no pressure lost at the end of the week. Guess the stem did not seat properly when I had checked the pressure and let it leak all night until down.

Call the motorcycle place and describe the problem. Odds are it's their fault and they should transport the bike back to the shop and fix it. Unless you first find out that you picked up a nail or something like that.

At least it happened in your garage and not while you was riding it! If it ever does you will never forget that feeling of your front end shaking and have almost no control of it. That's how mine happened twice! Both times it was the inner tube rubbing against the rim spoke nipples and that's when I got new rims without tubes.
