Do I still need?
I think for fun, I am going to go to HD and get on the SM telling him when they did my 5K service that they pit the wrong kind of air in my tires and now they spin too fast because of it

A couple of guys talked about using Helium. I'd advise against that, as your bike may start to lift and lose traction! If you are so concerned about having summer air in the tires in summer and winter air in the winter, why not just switch your heater over to fresh air, and let the air come directly in from outside?? Man you guys are dumb

Does anyone have a copy of the manaul that they can send me where it tells what type of air to put in? Is it available in pdf? I am also wondering what type of jack to use and whether or not the syn-3 air or another type of air would be better. Please get back to me ASAP as I have to ride the bike in 4 months.

Jeez guys, you're makin' my head hurt, now I have to go out in the shop and check the service tag on my bike to see if they rotated the tires last time or not, and if they put in the correct tire air when they serviced the muffler bearings!!

I personally do not do that. My hillbilly cousin, the one with the mud flaps, changes his and swears by it. I do change my underwear every other day though. The off days I turn them inside out. By doing this I have noticed a tremendous increase in my seat of the pants dyno.

Not only is there winter air and summer air. There is synthetic air and dino air.
