#111038 gab (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   ANY ONE HAVE NITROGEN IN THERE TIRES AND IF SO WHAT'S THE BENEFIT OTHER THAN MAINTAINING PRESSURE LONGER ALSO ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT COSTS   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/21 16:42 By gab.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111040 Jason19 (User) Yes, I am a Pirate, 200 years too late Junior Boarder Posts: 177 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   No moisture in the tire (which air can hold up to 5% water vapor), and about 1/2 ounce per tire lighter...so a WHOLE OUNCE lighter bike! woohoo!!!   Logged     -Jason 2007 Road Star Silver Hypercharger Pro-R LA Choppers CurveDD with cut baffles   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111049 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 336 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   Nitrogen keeps a more consistent pressure (because it has no water in it) whereas air will change more with temp. This helps your tires wear less and improve MPG.

Tempture does not effect the pressure that much.   Logged     I\\\\\\\'M A Ret. NAVY CHIEF. GOT BACK IN TO BIKES AFTER 20+ YEARS.

The storage of it may not be. If you have tank you can usually get it filled pretty reasonalby. Here you can get it at farm bureau co op.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111092 slezy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 660 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   You guys have a plethara of info here on the clinic!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #111157 roadstar_rider (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 165 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   nitrogen leak out of spokes???? every week i loose bout 1-2 psi will this be the same for nitrogen??   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111165 javawave (User) Over 16776 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3093 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   Probably.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111186 BigBoyinMS (User) BigBoy. BigBike. Expert Boarder Posts: 465 Re:NITROGEN VS AIR 3 Months ago   I work at a car dealer so I had it done to my bike. The Feds are making nitrogen mandatory; next year I think. There is no tank to fill. It's a filtering system that removes about 98% of the oxygen from the air leaving mainly nitrogen to go into the tire. There are two main benefits: The nitrogen atoms are larger than oxygen atoms so it is harder for nitrogen to escape from the tire. So your pressure is more constant. Second is that oxygen is an oxidizer so with less oxygen in the tire the less the rubber breaks down.   Logged     2006 Midnight.

I too work for a new car dealer and we fill all the new vehicle tires with nitrogen. Most of the tire stores in our area have nitrogen generators too(filter systems that basically remove everything but nitrogen from air) so it is getting easier to get serviced. Tire presures stay pretty consistant. No real drop in presure when temp drops in the winter. Have had it in my bike for over a year.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
