This is going to sound stupid but what does nos do?
Other than it makes it go faster. Is it plumbed in so that its like a constant additive to fuel so it works through the Rev range at all times and just needs re filling or is it really like the fast and the furious and there's a big red button you press and it squirts it in giving you a power boost whilst you hold it.
Is it noticeable ? Can you take any videos? I'm just intrigued as its not something I've ever seen other than in films.

Air contains about 20% oxygen, less so at altitude. N2O acts as a oxidiser to provide more oxygen for the combustion process.Other than it makes it go faster.

But you can't just squirt NOS into a cylinder without a supplemental system to add more fuel, as more oxygen and same fuel equals a lean condition equals holes in the pistons unless you limit its use to a couple of seconds.
How you use it is up to you but usually it's deployed as a power shot, adding an amount BHP when activated although it's possible to ramp it up by rpm or speed ect. But a bottle won't last long then. Which is why it's more common to have a button to activate it. If you have it running as an automatic system, like anytime over XXXX rpm, then once the bottle is empty and you trigger the system, you'll just be flooding the motor with fuel and no oxygen.
Would be interesting for the OP to explain how it's operating and how he's achieved the fuel enrichment function.
Or it's just a bottle for show

As usual Im impressed by your knowledge. Between all the bBut you can't just squirt NOS into a cylinder without a supplemental system to add more fuel, as more oxygen and same fuel equals a lean condition equals holes in the pistons unless you limit its use to a couple of seconds.

hy threads and all those pesky fire blade bumming threads there's some pretty damn knowledgable folk on here. I think I'd of chosen a different bike to start throwing what I assume is pretty big bucks at, but variety is the spice of life and everyone's different and all that

Would be interesting to see how the system has been installed as it requires quite a bit of plumbing and solenoids to achieve the injection of the NOS or NOS/Fuel mixture. Easy to hide in a cars engine bay, not so easy in a tight superbike.
Also the bottle looks suspect to me. When was the last time you saw a pressure vessel with ridges such as the bottle on this bike? Think of any gas canister/bottle and they're shaped the way they are for a very good reason. Ridges are pressure points and can cause a rupture.
And apparently a 10lb bottle in a car is good for about 10 1/4 mile runs so I can't see this tiddler lasting too long.
I suspect in this case however it's all show and no go.
