Conflicted about TPMS

[Protonhound]

I never had a bike with TPMS and have mixed feelings about it. At first I figured that why not just get it when I buy my R but at the same time I don't want to have to think about it working properly when riding. I check my tire pressure every morning before riding so I'm not sure if I really need on the fly live updates.

Does the Triumph TPMS just give a warning or does it read out the tire pressure (ambient or standardized) as well as a warning?

My wifes tiger has the TPMS and it is a real pain in the a$^^. The pressure has to be almost exact, 1lb less will activate the dash warning. In fact I have an OBD link and disabled the TPMS. Dont go there

Yup, the bike alteady has more electronics than I ever would ask for and I believe I'll pass on this one.

I have Fobo 2 on all three of my bikes and life is easy. Pressure without getting down on your knees.

Triumph TPMS works well on my 2022 3R. No issues. I had it installed at time of delivery by my dealer (accessory PART NUMBER: A9640251). Tire pressures can be viewed on the TFT instrument panel -- use the joystick to scroll to the TPMS information tray to view the front and rear tire pressures. Instrument panel will also throw a TPMS warning symbol if either tire pressure gets low. I do notice that the tire pressures shown on the instrument panel usually differ from my air gauge measurement by 1-2 psi. This is not an issue for me, since I really just want to know if/when either tire loses significant pressure while riding (puncture). I always check my tire pressure before each ride anyway.

At what PSI does it trigger the warning?

 

[triplespeed]

The Owner's Handbook is not clear on this point, only stating that "The warning light will illuminate when the front or rear tire pressure is below the recommended pressure. It will not illuminate if the tire is over inflated."

I will see you the Triumph TPMS description and raise you the BMW description for inscrutability.
