A good tip is to have your tires filled with nitrogen. It does not expand and contract like air.
there for keeping your motorcycle tires about the same air pressure all the time. Great for starting off on cool roads and finding yourself on hot road surfaces later in the day. Also, if you do get a puncture, it does not blow out as bad or escape from puncture as quickly.

I sorta (I don't know everything) think this is a crock. It has to follow the Ideal Gas law related to temperature and volume, just like plain old air and air is made up mostly of Nitrogen. My bike has monitors on both tires to give you a readout of your pressure as you ride and an alarm if the pressure gets too far off the specified level.

It's like fishing lures are not to catch fish, but to catch fishermen.

Nitrogen doesn't leak out at anywhere near the same rate as regular air over time .
I have read this in several reports. Not so sure about a flat , will probably escape just as quickly.

I have a battery tender wired into my Bike, come time to park for the season I fill it with gas, and pull off the seat, and plug in the charger. Will be ready to go in the spring and is supposed to extend battery life.

CS, how many amps do those battery tenders put out?

The one I saw as 2 amps Moto , and when battery is fully charged , it shuts down.
A battery will gradualy lose power over time , and the "tenders" keep them at full charge , without overcharging

Lets see now, I could plug it into my accessory socket and leave my key turned on, right?
