I just bought new TPMS sensors for my 2016 R1200RS and the new parts doesn't look anything like the old ones. Attached are some pictures. The first is the drawing from the BMW parts list. |

For what it's worth, I took a picture of mine last time the tyres were replaced, with just this project in mind... KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #2 Sure would be nice if that's possible with the new style sensor.

So far my TPMS are working fine after 7 years and 30K miles.

My bike is a 2016 with 37,900 miles on it. I noticed on my last tour that the front sensor was sometimes only displaying a dashed line. So it is still working intermittently, but since I'm in the process of changing the tires I thought now would be the best time to change out both sensors. I don't know if you can access the battery through the beige cover. You would have to pry that cover off and I'm not going to try it on those very expensive sensors. My plan for the bike to learn the new sensors was to get the wheels spinning fast enough to turn the sensors on. The rear will be easy because I can spin it up while the bike is on the center stand. The front will be harder. I'm thinking of lifting the front off the ground and spinning it up with a drill motor and buffing disc. I'll let you know if that works. |

Zitat von CRmotorbikes im Beitrag #7 You would be better off to try going for a ride to see if the sensors will turn on. In a few cases people have been able to turn on the sensors by riding the bike but don't count on that working.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #2 Sorry - you're thinking of changing the BIKE because the TPM battery needs replacing .. WOW  . I was quoted £200 for the job if done with new tyres at the same time

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #9Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #2 That's 200pounds per sensor? Over here, the cost of the sensor alone is $200.

The sensors that the OP shows (packaged) are for a spoked wheel, whereas the first image he shows, is for the cast alloy wheel. I don't know whether they are interchangeable air pressure wise, but would suspect they physically don't fit the valve configuration.

Apparently, the old style sensors shown in diagram in my first post are no longer available through BMW. The style that I was given have superseded the original design. Problem is, the new sensors require a slightly smaller pin (or bolt) to properly fit them. Unfortuneately, I didn't know this until after I fitted the new sensors as best I could and the new tires were mounted. I tried rotating the front tire to wake up the sensor so the GS911 would detect it, but it didn't work. So, I am either going to have to buy a wake-up tool, or take the bike to the dealer. |

Zitat von Philbuck im Beitrag #13If you look up the OP's part number (36319832032) at the BMW parts catalogue at https://www.realoem.com/ it comes up with an RDS sensor available from Jan 2020, and that it supersedes part number 36319832032, which it says was the part fitted on several other previous models which do NOT include the RS. I looked up my own 1200RS (2017) on the catalogue and found the part number for that was 36318532732. That does appear to be obsolete now, but the catalogue doesn't give any info about a suitable replacement part number. Will be interested to hear how the OP gets on Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #9I did say 'ONE' of the reasons! I just reckon around about now is probably a good time to replace the bike and get myself back on a newer model, before things start going wrong. So it's more a case of being equivalent to selling a bike before an expensive major service rather than just afterwards (which I was also planning on doing). I must say, I did think it was likely to be more than a couple of hundred quid for new TPMSs, though KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |
