The rear tire on my 07 ninja is losing pressure.I filled it up to ~30 psi a week ago and today it was soft enough that I could press the tire in with my hands.
I inspected the tire but did not find any nails etc.I did however find a small cut in the rubber but it didn't seem to go deep enough to cause a puncture.
Any suggestions to find/fix the leak? or am I better off buying a new rear tire for a little more?

Edit:..I should also mention that I was riding the motorcycle for the whole week (~50 miles each day)
