I refuse to keep paying the dealers for their inflated prices

.... And if a dealer tells you that you have to use HD air or warranty is voided... Then must provide the air free.... IT's THE LAW !!!

I went back to summer air cause it weighed less. when I checked the tires I had 30lb in the front and 32lb in the rear with the fall air with a gage it weighed 36lb in the front and 40lb in the rear. every pound adds up!

...and it's rotational weight....

Which multiplies that.

My dealer throws in 4 season air changes with my services. They looked at me funny when
I first asked for it, I guess nobody else thought of it, weird.

Default multi-vis air
a friend told me amsair is releasing a new multi-vis air that is supposed to compete w/honda's new season-sensing-blend that adjusts the % of argon, CO2 and methane according to the hours of natural daylight to which the rims are exposed. i'd wait. you can buy the compressors already at any auto supply store.

My dealer is out of the orange and black Summer air storage containers. He has plenty of the Winter air containers but couldn't tell me if they were compatible. My service manual says nothing about storage of the Summer air so I am at a loss.

I never get my air at the dealer, it's a ripoff and I'm a cheapazz. I am still running last winter's air, and figure I can get another 1-2K miles out of it before it wears down to the currents.


I do carry a big batch of air in my saddle bags just in case though.

Some dealers are under pressure to sell last year's air first...but I hear it's no good because of global warming.
