During my last week tour TPMS warning suddenly came on the dash and it read my rear had 1.6bar pressure as opposed to factory 2.9

Year of the bike? Mine work fine as a 2018 model, but I don’t know what makes the batteries wear out…time or mileage ridden. If it happens again and you’re within warranty, definitely have BMW check it out.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #2 it will be a combination of both as the more miles you ride, the more pings the ECU sends to the sensors for data. Batteries age over time and due to environmental conditions, so parking a bike outdoors is likely to shorten the lifespan due to the frequent temperature cycles. My bike has done only 24,000 miles in 6.5 years as it has not been my only bike in that time. I am still on the original sensors.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #2 12/2022 3.5k miles on so... I'll take it as a glitch for once but if it happens again I'll give the dealer a visit

The sensor life seems quite random. My 2016 bike needed a front wheel sensor changing after 25 months, just after my warranty expired, that was very frustrating! On the other hand Wessie has managed 6+ years on the originals and thinking about it, my rear wheel is still on the original. |

Yep, my front needed changing at just over seven years. The rear is still going strong. There's a redesigned sensor now too. |
