Siberian Air is synthetic.
Rather expensive though.

Default Winter Air Storage

I always add air stabilizer to my tires in the winter. That way the old air stays fresh all winter and there is no need to change it in the spring. Don't forget to spray some sea foam on the muffler bearings.

I just emailed them to see when there blinker fluid would be back in stock and if it will work in motorcycles.

For some reason I get an error when I hit the send button

I guess I will have to call my local dealership tomorrow and see if they have any in stock.

I really need this fluid before I can get my bike back out here in the 20 deg (feels like 7 deg) OHIO weather.

Everytime you change the air in your tires, you should also do a porosity check of the ceramics on your sparkplugs. A quick way to check this is to take them out of your bike and take them to the nearest lake and drop them in. If the porosity is good, the plugs will float. If it is bad, you will have to replace your plugs.

Don't forget the elbow grease when you change the air in your tires. Finally I can replace that muffler bearing.
