TPS / Warranty

[GPz1100]

well the rear didn't get covered. seems the plastic housing is cracked. the dealer is working with me and we'll split the cost, i pay for the sensor and they eat the labor.

Who changed the tire last?

[GPz1100]

they did.

So they broke your sensor and you have to pay for it?

[GPz1100]

dunno yet. serv mgr called to talk about it and i missed the call. won't get a chance to talk to them till next week. if that's the case and they come clean about it...well accidents happen. i ain't gonna beat them up about it. we've had a long relationship. i'm sure we'll both fair about it.

Can we remove the sensor completely from the tire and somehow satisfy the ECU?
The sensor doesn't come on unless the tire (sensor) is rotating. Can we just keep the sensor somewhere on the bike? This way, the ECU will see the sensor but never activate because it is not rotating.    I wonder.....

If you remove the sensor you just get PSI --. The ECU will look for it for a while and give up and report the other tire normally. I rode without a front TPS for two weeks.

I'm getting both the front and rear replaced under warranty on Thursday. I need to have the wheels rebalanced too. It seems that I have a bit of a vibration above 100*.
