Electronics » Failed front wheel tyre pressure sensor on a new bike...?

Has anyone had issues with the tyre pressure sensors? My March '20 Exclusive has had the front sensor pack up. Told me my front tyre wasn't at pressure while riding and screamed at me t stop but the tyre's definitely fully inflated and remained so, and the sensor shows a "---" reading so the sensor's obviously not right.

Thanks @wessie - yes hopefully the spat dummy can be replaced at the running in service due shortly.

The electronics industry has a term for that - albeit not a pleasant one - "infant mortality".

It refers to kit that has passed every test during manufacture, then passed power-up and automatic test procedures, but then still dies shortly after installation/real-world use.

It happens. Electrons and silicon can be fickle things.

I had a front sensor that intermittently failed to give a reading on my 2017 GS, pretty much from new. After asking about it several times, I finally got the dealer to investigate it during a service, at which point it was replaced under warranty.

In the event it helps anyone, the bike went in for its running in service and the sensor was confirmed faulty. All replaced under warranty.

As has been noted, it happens.
