Zitat von CRmotorbikes im Beitrag #14 If a smaller bolt was required, how did you fit them? Does smaller refer to diameter or length?

I was still able to fit by flipping them so that the printing us up. This allowed enough of the treads on the bolt to make purchase. I used a medium strength thread locker and torqued them to 9 Nm as per the manual. The old bolts are too large in diameter. See the attached photos for how I had to install them. I ended up buying a cheap ($13) wake-up tool off of Amazon and with the GS911 and my computer it was easy to tell the bike's computer which sensor was for which wheel. Everything is working as intended, so I'm relived. I intend to change to the proper bolts at the next tire change.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #5 Moi Aussi. And if I ever need such parts I’ll search directly, because they’re bound to be Much cheaper from Schrader rather than coming in a wee bag emblazoned with a BMW part number. It works with filters and plugs on 2 wheels and 4. 7FBA4E05-C1B5-40C8-83C9-4E7712E0B38F.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) 59CA25C1-C9C7-4448-891B-2EAE23297EB9.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I tried contacting Schrader USA directly, but was told my the technician I spoke to the sensors were only available from BMW at this time. Maybe in the future they will be available directly through Schrader. |

I have read several times that Schrader won't sell the units directly to customers. My bike is 37,000 miles and coming up to 7 years old and I'm waiting for them to fail soon. |

I have never managed to get a chinese TPMS to work consistently, or to replace the battery in an expired OEM one, despite taking great care!!

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #23 That will work for me. Will keep company with “Service Due” spanner on dash  Funny how we managed without such warning lamps. I find my modern day tyres hold on to the air pretty well. So don’t really need to know the approximate pressures while riding.

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #28Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #23 Yes, TPMS is not something I would pay extra for. My XR has had a service light since last autumn. It can have a dealer service every other year now so booked in for early September. As can the RS, that had a service last year so can wait until next year. No commuting and fewer weekend rides mean they do not do enough miles to justify annual servicing. Obviously, they get annual MOTs that checks safety items but have never failed. The most recently serviced bike gets used for the overseas trip, so the XR is going to Spain in 8 weeks.

While I wouldn't pay extra for TPMS since I have owned 26 motorcycles in the past and have never had a feeling that I needed to know what my tire pressure was as I was riding. However, I will admit that the BMW TPMS on my RS is an excellent system. It still works after 7 years of riding and is pretty darn accurate, indicating the same pressure as my several expensive tire pressure gauges when measured in my garage before going for a ride in the morning.
