Not fun when they fail.  The red warning light comes on and so does the low tire light.  I'm thinking at about 80 I have a tire going down.    I would slow down to about 60 and after about 30 seconds the lights go out and it's reading again. Really bad.   Stuart.

So it appears the sensor is reading correct for the past several days. 40 PSI before I ride then 43 PSI when it heats up. However the dash light stays on. Any way to shut it off. I have a new sensor but want to avoid removing the rear wheel if possible.

Have had the opportunity a couple times to dig deep in the controls and push many and varied buttons on TPMS bikes.  Never saw a way to disable the warnings.  Also find it very unlikely you'd have a way to disable such a safety system.  On "light duty" cars it's mandatory since (I think this is right) 2007.  So definitely no option there.  Just hard to imagine a bike manufacturer accepting the shared liability that would come with making the system elective once it's there.

on my 16 rgu, i have to set rear tire pressure to 42/43 cold  or it acts up like your describing, and then when its hot it throw a warning if pressure goes above 50, kind of a PITA but it has saved me one time, started out for a ride and light was on and showed 12 psi and sure enough i had pickup a 3/8 bolt.... tire was junk

What you describe is not an acceptable situation, but there again we are talking about H-D.  No TPMS system should force you to overinflate your tires in order to keep the warning light from coming on.  If the actual reading matches a known accurate gauge, I'd say the software (BCM) is faulty.

you are correct .... but choose to not let It piss me off, some times we have to pick our battles

I believe the dealer can set the low value if my memory serves me correct.  My 15 had issues, that light was on if under 4 psi.  I believe they set the value, if not then they had to install a new sensor as they did fix it.
