Solid yellow warning light and tire signal

I took Mileater out for the first time today after winter layup as it's nice and sunny and 12 degrees Celsius. It's my first time ever riding in March. I noticed that the rear tire pressure was not registering, and after about 5 minutes the yellow warning light came on along with the tire signal. When I got home I read the rear pressure and it was 38 lbs, and not extremely low so I pumped it up to 40. The front was reading 36 lbs and I gave it a bit of air also. It's my first spring launch with the bike, so I'm not sure if these bikes have a history of Tire monitoring issues? Over the winter I did put a Fuzeblock in, along with riding lights but I don't think it's related to the problem. Can I call on any input? TIA

I guess that after your winter layup you never checked the Bike over before your ride?
Thank bmw to remind you your RS needs some pre flight checks!

Checked 2 weeks ago so I knew they weren't far off. Thanks anyways.

Arrange for a new battery to be fitted, not sure but i don't think they generate there own power, if stood long time battery in sensor may be flat.

Hi Ged

I would guess the wheel tpm units are ok as that would generate a different alarm rather than the first level warning, orange/not within spec rather than a 'stop now/red warning.
There is some stuff on youtube showing how the non replaceable wheel tpm battery is glued, resin held but can be changed out, quite a task.
The tyre tpm shuts down when parked, inertia switch operates once you get up to 20kph/mph, which then triggers your display to clear your static start up alarms.
Last time I saw a thread on this, not sure if car or bike related but those units are probably £100, plus wheel removal, fitting, recalibrating the computer etc.
Anyone remember the owner with two RS (not a spare, husband and wife with good taste) and they put the wheels back on the wrong bikes = no tpm unless they rode within 6ft!

I rode my lad’s S1000RR to it’s annual MOT test 2 days ago with a yellow triangle on the dash. I think it was caused by the “Service Due” message on the screen.

Not all warning lamps mean that the end of the world is nigh. If you’re 100% sure that everything is OK then just keep on riding until you pluck up courage - $$$$$$ - to visit a dealer and get your dash lamps reset.

My own RS has been carrying a Service indicator for at least 2 years as it’s DIY for me now.
