This is kind of interesting... I got a new rear tire last week and the next day, my pressure sensor started to fail. I figured they messed up mounting my tire. I took it back to the dealer today and they determined the battery in the sensor was dying. Odd timing. Oh, and it turns out I'm 3 days away from my 3 year warranty expiring so fortunately the replacement was free. |

Zitat von Eperker im Beitrag #1 That's interesting. The 4 bikes we have owned with TPM we had to ride a block or two before the reading would show. On our cars the pressure can display before the car moves.

Per the owners manual, the sensors are supposed to have centrifugal governors that prevent them from transmitting until the bike reaches a speed of 19 mph, and then shuts off the sensor 15 minutes after the wheel stops. My understanding is that this feature is designed to extend the sensor battery life by preventing it from transmitting while the bike is sitting idle. I'm wondering if your dealer failed to enable that feature when they replaced the faulty sensor. You might want to check with them about that. |

I need to amend my statement after a couple rides. The bike still requires a 1/2 block roll for the sensors to turn on on a cold start. But if the bike has been running within a few minutes, the sensors display pressure immediately. That wasn't the case before but it certainly doesn't seem like a problem. |
