C14 - TPS 90 degree Valve Stem?

[The Pope]

Also, I think they are not 45 degree but 135 degrees! (They are MORE than 90 degrees, not less)

That all depends on your method of measuring the angle........ 

I don't have any problems putting air in the rear wheel, now the front is a different story. The rotor can make it a  little difficult and I have one of Murph's 90deg. valve stems in the front for that very reason.

I think I have read here that the stems are not the most robust. I guess I would sooner push straight down to avoid damage. If I get the stems so they are down it isnt to hard to fill.

I haven't had any issues with the ones that Murph sold awhile back (90 degree) that worked with the TP sensors.

I just replaced mine with some nice 90 degree stems and ditched the Crappy TPS stuff after the batteries died. Ohh yeah i have to use a tire pressure gauge to check my air pressure. If you ride everyday like me you know if your tires are a few pounds low. Maybe mama Kaw could include more dashboard readouts on the "17 model? I personally don't think there is enough.. I want to know my current tire pressure not average at certain altitude and temperature?  Maybe a heads -up Iphone display?

If you've ever picked up a nail on the road, and had the warning flash you prior to going onto a freeway or other hazardous location or long trip, you'd likely say the TPS was worth all that...
Both times I had the emergency warning, I was within a mile from home.... and could simply roll on back to the barn, plug the tire in comfort and use my compressor.... 5 minut delay, was priceless....

Yeah, I wouldn't call the system "crappy."  It has a lot of nice advantages and is very convenient.  For me, the only crappy part is that the battery can't be charged remotely through the stem or isn't external so it can't be replaced [by most people] without taking it in for expensive service through removal the tire, and that just seems stupid.

BTW- while the sensor batteries in my 2011 C14 started failing at a whopping 2 years and replaced at year 3,  the sensors in my 2009 Infiniti G37S are still just dandy after over 7.5 years!  (Perhaps I need to knock on wood or something).

I just carry a air chuck set up for the  90 with me , so I'm ready

On my most recent trip, I was on I-75 north of Knoxville TN and was scrolling through the display options out of boredom (all 6 of them woo hoo!) and saw 42 front, 35 rear and knew I had a problem even before I got the red light. .  Hit the next exit and there was a dealership whose property adjoined the interstate, very lucky for me. I put a beef jerky plug in (myself, I just used their air, they would only mount a new tire, no thanks) and was on my way.

I find the TPMS quite handy.

The one Murph sells is a quality product, made to work with the TPS.

The cheapies can be used in an emergency.

BUT NOTE: I heard of someone using a cheapie and pushing side ways too hard.
Result was a broken TPS and a flat tire.

So, if you go with the cheapies,,, AWAYS support from the back when you add air.

Ride safe, Ted
