Yeah, but my dealer told me if you use anything other than HD nitrogen it'll void your warranty. He wasn't joking either- I saw it myself in the white papers...!

My dealer said the same thing

I use it in my work truck and will be putting it into my bike tires. I get it free. My tire/nitro dealer says it leaks out a little slower than air and I believe that because I just had a flat and the tire held inflation for a little longer than it should have (3 - 1 1/4 inch roofing tacks).
I will add that I would not pay for it, but, if a tire pops at 65 mph & I get 1 or 2 seconds more to slow down, that's great.

I exclusively run the intestinal gasses from Yaks in my tires. I've not had any problems yet. If I over fill the tire, when I let the excess gas out, it makes somewhat of a fart sound. Darndest thing.

I like the hellium idea would'nt that make it easier to move around the garage? Or would you have to tie it down?

Cannot for the life of me see what the extra expense could be worth.I check my tires all the time and own more than enough air capacity to keep them filled correctly.To each his or her own.Of course my bike is a one of a kind.

Nope, I say this because I think its a waste of money.

I ask this because I believe it’s a good idea,
"X2lee",
"Nope, I say this because I think its a waste of money".

Do you have all kinds of Bling, bling ?
Whatever I owned over the years was always up-graded for function and performance, if it happen to be chrome so be it.
If I brought that new ride last january, the first option would have been, an oil cooler not a chrome digital oil temp gauge : - )
I read where some think an oil cooler is a waste of money, on an air-cooled engine, go figure.
Ride safe,
