Haha… Aye aram ka mamla hai:green_heart:
Normal air that we fill is 78% Nitrogen (3rd or 4th standard lesson 
)
Nitrogen that we fill is 90-95% Nitrogen. So, the benefits are very less.
Nitrogen being inert, has less moisture and hence less probability of oxidation. Also it will be lighter. Again this is very less and for a layman’s vehicle, it is intangible.
That said, I have nitrogen on all my vehicles for only one sole reason that the pressure loss (unless there is a puncture or a leak somewhere) is slower. The reason being Nitrogen is lighter than air.
There is really no pro or con for nitrogen. It doesn’t hurt if you are willing to pay over something you get for free otherwise. But it’s perfectly OK to fill

I have the VIAIR 12V airpump in my car. It is used in case of emergency just to top up. Michelin pumps are not that good as they are just some chinese local make (but michelin branded). VIAIR is basic(no digital) but rugged and good.
You are true about the L-shaped valve. Although I loved the thought behind it, it is prone to damage or leaks as the guy at some local tyre shop will unintentionally put more force.
Thanks for the clarity
Ohh that feeling…!!!
Really? Congratulations. By the way, who did the riveting part?
My HSRP plate had a protruding screw. which they missed while riveting… I noticed when I got myself hurt while cleaning…
When technician came to replace horn, told him about this… But he could not do anything… Whatver he tried with his tools, was only getting scratches on number plate… So he told me to call customer care itself…
So, when you all get yours, pls remember to check it

Hello All,
How is the Ather performing over speed breakers and potholes pf Bangalore.
The speed breakers have given me nightmares in the past for my bike.
Not great for me, suspension is stiff, logged a complaint with Ather support, but they told they are looking on this with quality and design team to dampen the suspension set up.
Perfect… I think the suspension set up for me is perfect… I felt no bumps or any kind of jerks

Today went for an activity in Turahalli Forest. it was long 30 km ride at 6 AM. So first time used maps… here’s my experience.
First of all, much much better experience than using phone and checking at every signal if I am going at correct route…
- Pushed the location from app. But even after 2 tries, did not see it. So searched in dashboard and worked.
- The direction was lagging by few seconds. So, for example, if left turn is 100 metres away, it shows 300 metres away… two times I missed turns and had to come back… Then we started using phone’s Google map in parallel, which was accurate… some times lag is very less, some times upto 300 meters. So started being careful for every turn.
- When coming back accepted the route suggestion without checking the range and distance. After riding for around 700 metres realized that we are on Nice road and range was less than distance. Did not want to take risk. So took U turn. Though new route was suggested multiple times and I accepted it, it still showing “Rerouting…”. After 3 attempts failed cancelled navigation and started the navigation fresh and it worked…
