TPMS ... Stopped working

[Puddlehopper]

Well I got the bike last Tuesday , amazed so far such fun still running in cant go over 4000 revs till 480km ... 350km done so far..
Have a problem I believe , the TPMS system seemed fine but I dropped the pressure as it got up tp 47 PSI from 42 I did that when hot.

The next thing its not working , took it back to Triumph who hooked the computer up to it and reinstalled the software , I asked any idea what happened I was told , they never downloaded the whole pack ? Hmm he then advised me not to turn the fob off ? I asked would it not drain the battery on both I was told no leave it on green ?

I rode for about an how all ok , then parked the bike in the garage a few hours later I adjusted the suspension and used ACF50 on the bike , I then started it and rode 40 yards the tyre pressures never came up , do then need a minute or two ?

Funny the TPMS was the only issue I had with a BMW1200GSA , any ideas gents ?

No problem with the turn signals?

They seem fine , in as much as I see the light flashing on the dash ,... whether they are working will have a look tomorrow ..

My first question is do you guys put the fob on red ? With no knowledge my guess is they have been fitted wrong , the mechanic was advising me to keep it on green sounds like a work round ...

I always turn mine off. The battery lasts much longer.

The TPMS on my KTM is touchy too. Sometimes I have to have the valve stems up when turning it on for it to function right away, or it takes a few miles. I never fitted it to the Rocket 3. The pressure to keep in the tires is what they are cold though. They'll always pressure up when hot.

Thanks , my rear went up to 47 when it should be 42 and my front 44 but it’s extremely hot where I am …. I guess I should drop down to 40 when cool ?

The manual recommends 42 in both but I run my rear at 40. I think it's personal preference but the higher pressures make for a stiffer ride. As long as it's not losing pressure while you ride all is well.

Most of my gremlins have come from loosening battery terminals. The turn signal errors are my first indication they need tightened. Just thought you might be seeing it as failing TPMS.

Thanks , they fitted the optimate charging cable so it’s worth checking tomorrow…

Always off when no riding it

I leave the FOB on all the time. The battery lasts a long time and I think once you're away from the bike it doesn't draw much power.

The mechanic told me do that , funny I leave it on on the Honda PCX never had a problem ?
