    Standard TT Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

    The only thing that I wish my standard TT had that the SE has is the TPMS.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/FOBO-FB1574-Bluetooth-Advanced-Monitoring/dp/B00WBD00FO

    However, I've found this on the net. It's available from Amazon in the UK for around £73.00 and monitors pressure and temperature via Bluetooth to an IOS or Android phone. Batteries are replaceable and last around 2 years.

    It's on my Santa List. Just need to stop being naughty for a couple of weeks.
    The world is divided into 10 types. Those who understand the binary system and those who don't.

    I've run one TPMS system or another for 10+ years now and can't see myself running without one now. I do miss the tire temp function. It can be real valuable in terms of when you can go to the whip without fear of a low-side.

    I have no experience with the model you reference but if it does as indicated I'm sure you'll be pleased

    This is the first vehicle that I've owned that's got TPMS and I'm kind of torn between the idea because I'm already experiencing the 'low battery' message and have seen the cost/trouble that's involved to get the system working again.

    I'm wondering if any of these 'screw on the valve' type ones can be programmed to work with the on bikes system? At least that way, when the batteries need replacing, the owner can do that cheaply and easy themselves.

    Other than that, if I can get a dealer to remove all sensor codes/disable the system on my SE model so that the message or red light doesn't come on, will the bike still pass it's MOT when it needs one??

    I have a Garmin 590 GPS which provides TPMS via screw on caps. I think when mine go inside the tyres I will buy the Garmin caps which are much cheaper to start with and provide user replaceable batteries!  :001:

    earthman,

    PM sent, but for the benefit of anyone else reading this .....

    The TPMS system does not fall within the scope of the UK MOT Test for Class 2 motorcycles,
    so if the TPMS system is non operastional this will not fail the MOT Test.

    I have the 390 LM fitted which offers the same dust cap sensor option and thought about doing the same swap when the time comes.

    Although... I've never had this dash facility in the last 40+ years so I'm also asking myself if I really need to know the pressures while riding :084:


    EDIT: Not had time to set up my ECU Dealertool purchase yet - but does anyone know if I can disengage the sensors via the Dealertool?

    I assumed that it would have been an MOT failure on a bike so that's good to know. I'll see what happens, when the red light comes on, if that bothers me too much.

    Like I've said, I'm kind of split on it,....if there is a reasonable cost/way to keep the system going, I'll probably stick with it.
