New type of TPMS transponder

[MrPepsi]

But can we even disable the TPMS battery warning if we even wanted to go with another unit?

If you remove the stock TPMS sensors, then you will not get any low battery warnings.

I ran one of these pressure sensors on my 08 C14 for a whole year.

I cannot tell you how lower middle class it made me feel.

duct tape?

duct tape?

That would be a luxury now wouldn't it?...lol.

Nossir, I got down on my knees, and checked the tires pressures the old fashioned way, for a whole year....it was awful...I can't even put the pain and humiliation into words...lol.

While typing the message below, I thought to use the words solder and tabs in the search function. Worked like a charm! So, nevermind my request.



While on the subject, can someone post the link to the replacement batteries for the old style sensors? I tried searching for them but I rarely have luck finding stuff like that on the site. I remember someone posting a link for the batteries with solder tabs a while back.
I have decided to stay with the old style sensor rather than have them change to the new.

Thanks, Matt

Would something like this work?

Isn't that thing hard to read at, say, 70 MPH?

Hahaha....listen Mister, every time I get a little fire going, you show up and pour water all over it...lol.

I think the tire pressure screen on the C14 is much like the oil sight glass...people look at them waaaay too often...lol.

Certainly true on the oil level- being anal could have a person putting oil in and taking some out all on the same ride.

On the other side of the coin, I think things like instantaneous mileage and especially fuel range remaining (based on instantaneous mileage on the C-14) are not looked at enough. If it is bouncing between 12 and 26, and the rider happens to glance at it when it says 24 and then not look at it again for 20 miles.... that could be a ride with a rude finish  :-( 

I like to do a quick scan of the gauges and see that I have 'some of everything' but not 'too much of anything' and all is well in my head. Well, all that involves the motorcycle at that moment at least....

The TPS display flips over to a warning screen when the tire pressures reach 32 PSI if I remember right. And that is a good thing and probably about as good a pressure to alarm at as any other.
