Sorry, but how do these work? Is there a battery in the valve stem assembly? I bought my connie used, the bike had not been rode in while. I took it out for the customary test ride and and recieve a low battery warning. After about 20 minutes of riding it went a way and has not returned.
Why not just replace the batteries while the tires are off? Or is it not that simple?
Just replace the battery when you change the tire. I just did my rear....maybe 5 minutes since it was my first time.
OK CB, you're going to have to explain yourself. Everybody else is cutting housings in half just to get to the battery.

You only need a small torx bit and a soldering iron once you have the unit unscrewed from the wheel.
- Peel back the FCC label and unscrew the torx screw.
- Pull off the back by releasing three plastic tabs. (one on the round end and two in the hole.
- The board just sits in there. Pull it out.
- Fold the tabs of the new battery over to the board contacts and solder them on. (Note polarity)
- Profit
I was told by my dealer when the bike was new if the low battery comes up, inflate tire to 50PSI, wait 5 minutes while the bike is on (does not have to be running) and reduce PSI to riding presure.

This has already been discussed and was proven to be inaccurate.
Snip...
How long do you have to wait then?

"bust em loose from the tabs." Was trying this last night while changing the rear tire on my 08, the battery seems pretty well stuck to those tabs! A bit tricky getting it loose without torquing the circuit board. Back at it this morning, my 6 minutes is up.
