Don't forget it's that time of year. Change the air in your tires from winter air to spring air. Keep the compressor of summer air close by as it's right around the corner. Remember that you need to change air inside your gauges too. The air in them gets stale , The gauges need fresh air to operate correctly.

Have you checked the 02 levels in your air?

No need for me to change it this year. I bought some all season air last spring and it works great all year round. I'm running Amzoil 1W12 multi-seasonal air, specially formulated for Harley Davidson touring bikes.

I know it is recommended on the 2016s - will they send out bulletins to 14 & 15 owners? Perhaps a recall.

I'm like Lucy Van Pelt: It's too early. I never use February air. I always wait until April...it's riper.

Pretty sure it has to be a complete change out by a Certified Tech - otherwise the warranty on the air quality senson in your tires will be void. I hear they may extend this policy to air suspension.

Do I have to fully recover the old air, like air-conditioning refrigerant ? I'm trying to keep environmental impact to a minimum.
