went to my local tyre service yesterday to get tyre presure checked.He suggested i start using nitrogen in tyers to prevent presure loss and keeps tyres cooler.Are any of you blokes doing this and what were the results?

Not worth the bother unless you really, really hate checking your tyre pressure.

My brother inlaw keeps telling me it is great and I should do it, I just dont see the point, I dont have to put air in my tires that often, yes I do check prior to runs or 3 months

Its a wank

It's a load of BS , a tyre place conned my wife into this in our 4wd years ago whilst getting a tyre fixed , didn't last long ,  still had to fill with nitrogen too often, Air is free , just check your tyres regularly and keep your coin for mods .

I got mine done with Nitrogen for free with the first service -- I would never have paid for it in the first instance.

Four hundred km's in and I swear that my FXDF's rubber feels like it performs better, which is saying a bit for the Dunlops which I will happily wear down before throwing some Michelin's on. The difference feels like the rubber is doing more of what it should. Coming in from large sports bikes where quality rubber at the right pressure means a lot, I reckon that I'm familiar with this shit. I also appreciate not needing to worry about tyre pressures, noting how painful HD's valves can be to access.

So yeah, I like it, and yeah it may be all in my mind but if you can wrangle a free set up give it a crack I say. Mine feels better for it.

wank wank money in the bank

What happened to original H-D air. To maintain warranty you must only use H-D air from an authorised H-D dealership!

I think the whole thing has been blown up into an over inflated issue

This thread is gaining traction Soapy, I'm sure we can get a few more miles out of it yet. We can't let it run flat just yet!

Change tyre services, he's trying to get $$,tell him to use 'Glider' aircraft fuel in his car ??

Getting a bit tyred of the whole thing really But seriously, air is roughly 79% nitrogen anyway. Keep your tyres at the correct inflation pressure with good old aussie air which you can still get at most servos.

Yeh well i was quoted a total of $8.00 for both tyers i dont think it will break the bank!

LOL You guys are a Gas ! Get it Nitrogen = Gas !
What a cracker thread ! I might start a new one. How often do you change your Nitrogen ??

These are classics:
Blown up
Inflated issue
Run Flat
Gaining Traction
Getting Tyred of the whole thing

Get a grip Jersey boy. Only if you get around to it. But try not to feel deflated if you don't.

the difference with nitrogen is a little inert

I prefer a mixture of oxy/acetylene, It's a fkn blast.

Here are the facts,, Nitrogen alows your tyres to stay at a consent COOLER temperature and saves on Tyre wear, If you have Nitrogen in your Tyres you must always top them up with Nitrogen,

All Air Craft run Nitrogen in there Tyres and Racing Cars to keep the temps cooler and to save on wear. There is no Wank about it, It is just a hassle to maintan

I heard if you run helium your bike will be 50kgs lighter.....................
