As this video shows if the condition are 100% clinical then yes there could be. but I doubt many of us will notice it.

I once had tyres fitted in Costco and they filled with nitrogen. noticed no difference at all..

Back to the hand pump and pressure gauge at home I think.
Some people will try to sell sand to the Arabs and ice to the Eskimos 

So if it's the oxygen molecules escaping surely that leaves only Nitrogen in the tyres anyway?
So after a few top ups of std air you've got Nitrogen filled tyres anyway and saved money
How much was it anyway?

Great comment       I'll be mentioning that to this guy where up there next.


Lets see if he can squirm of of that!   

After a cold start up in about 1.5-2 mins of idling the fan comes on.
When I get going and stopping at the lights I never notice is going on again unless waiting for a couple of light changes at a slow intersection (on those rare occasions where side mirror to side mirror blocks you going up the middle).

On my weekend riding haunt a big bikers cafe has a guy offering Nitrogen for your bike tyres.
The brochure says better grip, feel, longer lasting tyres, stable pressure from cold to warm tyres, less carbon foot print through better tyre rolling efficiency and some other bullshit. Oh, and less leakage as the Nitrogen molecules are larger. Actually the air we breathe is 78% Nitrogen according to Wiki.


The leakage and stability adds up. I can't feel difference riding though. I thought I did straight up but that was probably in my head shortly after a double shot 




If anyone has tried the Nitrogen can you really feel the difference riding your machine?

VNA - yes, the 95RON will be the next tank full.


Save a bit of cash. Hopefully this will be the sweetspot (not wetspot  ) for the bike.

I swear my Gen 1 has more get up and go with Shell V Power 98RON. Thrashing it I'm not sure but general running about the bike is more eager and recovers better from the odd accidental take off when the clutch grabs before the throttle revs the engine over idle.
I had a Mitsubishi Lancer 1990 1.5 Carb and Shell V Power 98RON was without any doubt producing better power and far better fuel economy over 95 & 92RON.


Tests on a Dyno would be interesting so as to quash the theory over reality situation.

The Motobatt in my Gen 1 sat uncharged in a garage for a year and would only start with a clutch start. When I got the bike home after transporting it in a trailer I charged it with a low power charger for 3 hours and the bike started. No issues with it since. Upright mount in these bikes.

4/01 on my compliance plate

I stand corrected    re what bike...


Great feedback and will be happy to continue with the semi synthetic and save the money

I have used semi ester Belray 10W40 for my first oil change on my 01 with 57,000kms. The guy I bought it off owned it from 1 year old, told me he used full synthetic all his ownership and tracked it 10 times in the year before he sold it (put the left peg through his calf poor bastard dodging a possum on a wet night).   


Is this a suitable oil for my bike being used as a commuter plus the weekend blast finding the redline a few times?


I'm sure there are plenty here with similar riding week to week 

I was literally dazed (oops Daved) and confused with the fuel tank size/reserve when these guys advised me the reserve was part of the total fuel tank amount, not a special hiding part like I was thinking 


They will help you out 

Have tried after market plates on a Suzuki 500 before with no probs at all.
Save the cash and turn your back at the expensive orig equip.
In some cases with some parts the aftermarket is from the same factory and identical but labelled diff.

Surely, I'm not the only one finding that when hitting a right hander with some attitude that your shin is hitting that uncomfortable sharp plastic top part of the oil filler screw cap 
 
Is this other Gen 1 Thou riders encounters ?


Some feedback would be great - perhaps I'm doing something wrong with positioning
