It could be the wind shifting about the nostril hairs. Try trimming them. Seriously, mine does that too until I trim the nose hairs.
Too much info.


My nose doesn't itch because I wear a full-face helmet -- no wind problems.
Now that I think about it mine doesn't itch either when I wear my full-face. Gotta be the nose-hair thing.

Mine itches with the full face helmet. Along with my head, face, etc. I think the air flowing thru vents does it. Or subconsciously I know I can't get to the itchy's so it makes it worse.

So, do you scratch with your right hand or put the bike in neutral and scratch with your left?

Excelllent point. Do you wear fingerless gloves when you scratch it? How often do you check the oil?Possible oil leak and you smell the fumes resulting in an irritation in the nasal passage. Possibly the tire pressure is too low thereby bringing the bike closer to the ground where you are more sustible to debris?

It's not always a simple answer. You may want to consult your dealer

I agree with this thought. Mine does it, too.
