TPMS

Found this TPMS unit for motorcycles on Face Book, thought what the heck was worth a try.

 

Make sure you follow directions closely otherwise you’ll you have to go back over several steps like I did.

 

 

1. Remove my saddlebag to allow for better access.
   
2. Make sure tires are aired up to specs
   
3. Unpack box to get to the head unit
   
4. Remove current valve stem caps
   
5. Put head unit into pair mode
   
6. Install rear TPMS Valve Steam cap
   
7. Make sure the head unit is showing the tire pressure
   

(Mine beeped a lot until I set it up.)

 

1. Install front TPMS Valve Steam cap
   
2. Make sure the head unit is showing the tire pressure
   
3. You may want to adjust settings on head unit.
   


1. Fahrenheit or Celsius
   
2. The unit also does barometric pressure
   
3. High and low temp alarm
   
4. High and low pressure alarm
   

 

I will ride latter this week and post how well it worked in motion

Just installed one of those a month or so ago. Pretty good unit. I ended up buying FOBO "T" valves to go on tires so I could add air without taking caps off. Also if I check tire with gauge, then put cap on it could be off a lb or so. Anyways with the T valves I found the front reads 1 lb higher than my gauge. Not bad. You will find you will have to roll the bike say in the AM a bit before it will read something besides what your finish pressure temp was when you parked. I am still messing with pressures but I usually see about a 3lb gain in front and 7-8 lb gain in rear depending on road temp. Also a Victory XCT, but still a big bike.
