Can I directly top up with nitrogen or should I deflate completely and refill with nitrogen
Please deflate both the tyres and then fill it up with nitrogen. I did the same for my 450.
I observed that tyres lost 8PSI in a span of 9 days…guess something is wrong. I ride only 19.5km per day.
What is nitrogen pressure setup for each tires ?
Back ? Front ? Pls share details
OK. Thanks. I was in impression that tyres were with nitrogen at the time of delivery… Any one can confirm…
Recommended to deflate and inflate again. But even otherwise, no issue. Nitrogen from the dispensers are 95% Nitrogen. Normal air contains 78% Nitrogen.
If you had searched once, you’d have got the answer to this. People have found solutions to this in 2 different ways. 1: Change air valve to the straight one 2: Change the tyre.
Nitrogen or otherwise, go to settings and press the i button on the scooter’s dash and it’ll display the recommended pressure
No. Normal air.

Same here they called up and applied 3m uv film. Application could have been better
I’d noticed this pressure loss earlier too. But that’s when I used to fill air at the petrol bunk, so I couldn’t check if the issue was with the pump or the tire. Now I have a manual pump ( #socialdistancingbeforecorona ) and the air reduces only by about 2psi in 2-3 weeks.
But I’d also given the vehicle for service in between, so can’t tell if the issue was fixed during service. Either way, I find it a lot more reliable and easier to use my own air pump:

I have observed that there are small cracks in the tires between the creases. Is it normal?
Can you post pics so that we’ll have an idea how small the cracks are?
Looks normal to me, but I would defer advice from an expert here.
Driven more on rough roads…unsurfaced roads

Why they didn’t gave brake lever lock, because we need it when we park in slope places
Is it necessary to service for 6000 KM or 6 months which ever is earlier if there is no problem in scooter…?
Where do I get the air valve changed to straight one?
Any good tyre shop which also deals with 2 wheelers will do it. A shop with experience in motorobikes/superbikes will be good as Ather’s construction is similar to bikes than scooters. Triton valves are one of the best ones and i got those. Big shops are better as they’ll have both experience and equipment. Since Ather’s rear wheel has a pulley on one side and a disc on the other side, it is difficult to remove the tyre. An hydraulic machine will make it easy. I went to Madhus in langford road…one of the best and the oldest in the business. But yes any good tyre shop can do it

Thank you, Mr Hemanth for the input. Will plan for change of valve. Would change of valve also necessitate removal of tyres? If yes, I don’t want to mess up anything. Need to visit large outlets only.
I think general service is must required for every 5k or 6 months whichever completes first.
