pump it up with air, get a spray bottle with water and a little bit of soap. Spray entire tire and see where the air is coming out of.

If you don't want to get dirty, call friendly tire, they're in margate and are very reasonable. 954-977-9445

since you dont see anything stuck in the tire, check the valve stem, and both beads. I had a ZX10 rim here that wouldnt hold air, turns out there was a bunch of nasty shit on the bead that had to be cleaned off and it sealed MUCH better. worth a look.
