I stopped at the local BMW dealer this week and I saw on the maintenance schedule for GS models a recommendation to change the air in the tires every 2500 miles. At the same recommendation of the oil change. They didn't have a separate cost list for this, it was just part of the $275 fee for the service interval. I asked why and got an answer about moisture buildup or something. I wonder if they use Nitrogen? How often does Kawasaki recommend you guys change the air in your KLR tires? How often do you do it? I like to do my own maintenance and I don't want to neglect any critical items. Thanks

I'm told that Nitrous Oxide works well; you're not very far from a good time, although some addictive qualities are there.......... Jake You're welcome to visit my website at:

And don't forget to rotate the spark plug. The potential long-term effect of neglecting this maintenance item is huge.... (Exchange the air, why wouldn't that really surprise me with the Beemer crowd. I used to own one.....)

Easy to do, but ensure you use High-Temp Muffler Bearing grease. Duden

What weights more, a pound of Arizona air, or a pound of Muffler bearing grease? How about a trade, grease for air?
