I've been waiting for my TPMS sensors to fail as my bike comes up to 7 years and 38,000 miles. The front took several miles to display on Saturday so I'm looking for a sensor. I have a wake up tool and a GS911. |

There was a thread awhile back but I don't remember the answer. One person said the one you show is a updated TPM and one said it was for the wire spoke GS wheel.

Just out of curiosity, do these things have a battery in them that should be replaced periodically? I really have no idea how they work. If they manage to send a signal without some power source, it's some kind of electrical magic that a mechanical engineer probably wouldn't understand. |

Grumpy already had this covered, regarding the battery replacement action, january this year |

Yes they do have a battery within them, which is switched on when the wheel rotates (or artificially switched on). The battery is encased in resin and not easy to extract. The connections to the battery are also welded, which is hard to re attach. I have tried many replacements, none of which were successful over a period of time. In the end I just bought the OEM one. Worked straight away.

Doesn't look any easier on this clip - |

Zitat von Philbuck im Beitrag #5 This is exactly why I'm buying new OEM. I have the scanner as well as a GS911. The scanner wakes the unit up (cheapie items from eBay) and the GS911 connects it (not so cheap but has a multitude of uses). £111 plus postage. |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #1 Looks like you have the newer updated sensor. Here's the thread I was thinking of. New TPMS Sensors

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #8Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #1 And I contributed to that thread too. Yes I have the newer sensor on it's way. Luckily I added a bolt to the order. I see that the new sensor needs a longer bolt ideally. |
