TPS sensor. . Again
« on: August 19, 2017, 05:22:45 PM »

Do these goofy sensors fail for many of you. . I had the rear replaced about 6weeks ago. Shows I have good pressure front and rear.  40f 42r cold.  I need to replace another one I guess.  It's lit up showing a low reading. . Any ideas?? Thanks.  Stuart  :(

Fill the tires up with nitrogen.  That chit fixes anything.

Let the MoCo keep buying you new ones and let the corporate folks know you will expect them to keep right on replacing them even after the warranty expires.  Maybe then they will actually fix the problem.  Btw, what does a real gauge say your pressures are?  I assume the 40F, 42R you mentioned came from the TPM system on the bike.  If the TPM readings match what a good gauge shows, your problem may not be the sensor but rather the module.  If the sensor is reporting the correct pressure to the module but the module keeps turning on the fault light, that's not a sensor problem.

Thanks for the quick replies. They ordered some new sensors. They were out.  I'll let them do their thing.  Thanks again.  Stuart

X2 on nitrogen, seems to keep more even tire pressure, Advertized that tire pressure will not change, found that to be a mini fallacy.
