#1012742 G_Conway (User) ScrewBird Platinum Boarder Posts: 1121 TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   The number of "tire down" issues has caused me to revisit the use of TPMS. I can't really find current information on good MC TPMS systems as everything seems to be from 2015 or earlier. I'm looking for something that mounts INSIDE the rim, and has the ability to power the display with bike power. Does anyone have any idea ( or actual usage data) on anything like this. I already have to deal with AH's that will steal a chrome or billet valve cap, so I dont want expensive screw on modules. Ant help or info appreciated.   Logged     Gerry   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012748 Krusty (User) It's Not Like That... Fresh Boarder Posts: 30 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   This the one I'm using. bought new Metzlers after having cheap "Dumlops"that were on the bike to sell it. Mounts to handlebar or sticks to any flat surface. Pretty accurate so far...(cautiously manually checking ,to be sure...) Vid is pretty boring, but worth the watch.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steelmate-TPMS-TP90-MotorBike-Motorcycle-DIY-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-2-Sensors-/291949912778 Shows the features and weights well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QNneRoTjVA   Logged     Remember, When life get you down...It\'s only one down, the rest are up......   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012757 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   FoBo silver is what I use, will alert you via blue tooth and you can always check the pressure without laying on the floor!   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/06/03 16:14 By Nocolorbrother.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012765 G_Conway (User) ScrewBird Platinum Boarder Posts: 1121 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Both of the above are screw on external units. That type may be what I have to do, but they are a last resort as I would prefer internal mount tire sensors. Thank you both for the input.   Logged     Gerry   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012878 LuckyDon (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2127 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I do not like TPMS's ! They are nothing but trouble and expense. I check my own tire pressure.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012884 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Conway I can understand why you would want a TMPS a smart rider would like to know when his lossing tire pressure before it goes flat.

Trust me I've been there done that and didn't like it Yes, I "Usually" check my tires before a ride, but I like the idea of TPMS both for those occasions when I dont have time to check... and even more important, to know I'm loosing pressure WHILE im riding.   Logged     Gerry   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012890 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   You might want to check these out http://www.mcssl.com/store/rrr-tool-solutions/tpms   Logged     My Rides   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012892 MidwestMike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4779 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   G_Conway wrote: Both of the above are screw on external units.

You are clear that you want internal units and do not need input on external, but.... .. ...if I had an issue with one of these, I would rather replace an external one, or swap front and back for troubleshooting, rather than pull my tire off the rim.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012894 G_Conway (User) ScrewBird Platinum Boarder Posts: 1121 Re:TPMS suggestions? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   MidwestMike wrote: G_Conway wrote: Both of the above are screw on external units.

A very valid point. Like I said, I prefer the internal due to anti-theft concerns, as well as the numerous "online reports" of issues relating to the torque load on the stems causing fractures, etc. As I stated, I am not ruling out externals, just leaning towards internals for the reasons stated. I appreciate ALL information, again , thanks.   Logged     Gerry   The administrator has disabled public write access.
