R15 - Need Help! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Hi All,

I have a 2 year old R15 and have certain queries. Need guidance, Please Help -

I have heard that nitrogen gas is better than regular air specially for tubless tyres. The pressure remains the same for atleast a month and stability of the bike increase since this gas does expand with the heat of the tyre friction. Have inquired about the options and many gas stations provide it. Not sure how this would affect the bike and my riding. Please guide as per your experiences.
Read in a magazine about the AGIP lubricants - 100% synthetic oils for 4 stroke bikes. Need to know if this can be used in our R15 bikes. I currently use the Yamahlube semi synthetic oil, but want to know if full synthetic oil can be used. Not sure if this would affect the performance and engine of the motorcycle!? Please guide.
I may have to travel out of the country for 3-4 months and the bike would remain unused in this period. What preparations should I make to ensure that the bike remains in good condition even if not used for this prolonged period.

Thanks,

Awaiting replies!
