i had dealership install new back tire, and now the low battery warning for tire pressure is flashing. i guess i was wrong in making the assumption they would replace the battery when replacing the tire. my mistake. i'm not taking it back to them, and i was wondering if there is a way to shut this thing off?
it's a 08 C14.
ha ha, i guess i am just stupid. i just thought it would be like a normal thing to replace the battery or unit every time you replace the tire.

i am going to try with the display to see if i can disable the flashing notification.
thanks for the advice.
I'm riding an '09, and I replaced the batteries over the last few days. Not all that difficult. I haven't taken the bike out yet to see if they work (too dang cold right now), but it was simple enough that I expect they will work. -On the other hand, I remember reading that there is something a dealer needs to do to get the TPS units communication with the bike. Is that so? I've read where guys have replaced the batteries as I have, and they just worked right away.
Is whether a dealer needs to do something a factor of which year the bike is? If mine don't work for some reason, I'll just check the TP manually. No big deal. I'm NOT paying $150+ each for two new sensors!

You can disable the message, but once you stop and then start again you have to go through the procedure again. I just let it complain... Takes about 5 miles or so to stop by itself once the battery realizes it's really ok.
That's not stupid, that's just the way these should have been built.
They're covered under warranty, makes approx $300 every 3 years for the extended warranty worth it IMO...
The bitch is that, at least in my case, you can't ignore it -- it just demands your attention. Thus turning a safety feature into a danger feature.
