Has anyone done this? I know they are touting it for cars to help regulate tire pressures, just wondered if anyone had tried it on the M/cycle.....

do a search....its been a highly debatable topic

Fill them with Helium, less unsprung weight !!!

Doesn't nitrogen go BANG quite well ?

The oposite, Nitrogen is innert

You have 78% Nitrogen in your tires right now. Going to 100% won't do much for you...

It does help regulate the tire pressure.

Still it is a good idea to check the pressure regularly for performance and safety reasons.

It dosn't absorb moister like ambient air so presure dosn't rise as the the tire heats up.

Wouldn't seem like a bad idea. I mean it won't hurt anything but where are you finding a Nitrogen filling tank? I'd be curious to know, because it's true that it wouldn't absorb moisture and fluctuate with temp, and being as I live in Nebraska, I ride in anywhere from 40-95 degrees....that'll run up and down a few psi.

I'm not sure if it is standard across the country, but my local Costco fills all of their tires with nitrogen. If you ask nicely enough and are a member, I'm sure they would oblige and fill up your tires.

How about you take the money you would save (by putting what is essentially air in your tires) and invest it in something that actually DOES make a difference in performance, or some new gear?

Anyone who wants to try to get out of having to check their tire pressure needs to have their head examined. Like it's that damn hard to do.

Like you said, it won't hurt anything... but your wallet.
