looks like a good thing to have

i am thinking about buying a monitor. here's the idea i had. i was going to buy one for a car. the one i looked at was a able to handle 6 sending units that screw on to the valve stem. since i have three daily riders i would put the reciever on my wing. since i park the three bikes side by side i could check all three bikes tire pressure from my wing. bill

Sounds like a good idea i never heard of these before today thats why i was asking about them sounds like a good item to have on the bike

I was thinking of installing one too. Do you think they would affect the tire balance and cause thinks to shake/shimmy?

Yes, I bought one, It's lying on my desk in front of me as I type.... It's going back!!! What a piece of crap!!!!! Doesn't work. Forget it......

It connects to remote only when you fiddle with it. After you turn off the remote it won't reconnect without your actually bending down and loosening both senders then retightening!!!!!

It's easier to use a tire gage, and at $169 it's a rip.....

Well that kinda answers that question, blunt and to the point.

I'm not sure about the aftermarket sensors or any specifically for bikes, but all 08 and new cars in the US are required to have TPMS and some of the sensors don't actually transmit unless the tires are spinning. That way it conserves the batteries in the sensors.

 

The ones on my Jeep seem to send occasionally even when not spinning as my dash pressure alert has gone off when the spare was low.

Thank you very much! Sorry for your trouble, but thanks again for telling us! You just saved me some major aggrevation.

Not only is this piece of Chinese garbage not working, but I am getting the feeling from e-mails back and forth that Xchoppers who I bought it from will be a real bear for returns....

I think everyone should run right out and buy this system, that way you all will find out what a piece of @#$% this system is weather factory or not. There is 3 trucks in the drive way that has them right from the factory, and I wouldn't buy a vehicle with it if I could still but some tofo fartin fairy has put this system as law on every new vehicle and soon it will be on everything with a tire. I can wait till they put it on my wheel burrow.
