linking tpms (non bmw)

[JJDesign]

Morning, I have a 2014 gsa lc and the tpms for rear tyre needs replacing. I have an ‘Amazon’ pair to fit one of them on the back tyre that needs replacing. So my questions are;
1/ anyone Worcester area with a GS911 tool that could link the sensor to the bike?
2/ is the icarsoft mt v6 worth having/using as I note it is a lot cheaper than a GS911?
3/ any advice on the replacing the tpms on my rear tyre. I understand I may need a ‘cheap’ tool to activate it as well?
Thanks in advance for the help

If you fit just one sensor at once, then ride the bike it should register automatically. If not you will need the cheap tool to wake it up.
Try the motoscan app, I'm sure you can enter the code manually through that.

check if the sensor you are replacing is the old banana type. If it is, you'll need the adapting bolt from motorworks. I replaced my rear a few weeks back. No tools, just ride it. Wakes up and still working fine. My 2015 needed the different bolt (about £8 form m works posted)

yes i did one on a k1600 rear ,after 10/15 miles it just woke up itself and worked ,the day after i did the front one and it did exactly the same .

Does anyone know if it's not the banana-shaped one but the newer Schrader type (https://www.motorworks.co.uk/tpms-sensor-wha14365-3.html) will it still wake up after a few miles?

Yes, the Schrader 3141m is the correct one, cheaper at autodoc. I have these on my 2018 GS

yes, it wakes up. paid £16 off ebay for mine. Note, you may need a different bolt...

I’ve only had the banana ones on previous bikes and have never seen the new ones ‘in the flesh’. The existing valve stems screw into these new ones?

Can anyone answer my question above? Just trying to plan the best way forward when I have new tyres shortly. Thinking I will just do the rear one if by doing just one it will set itself up and then I'll do the front on the next tyre change.

So I have stuck with the original Schrader one (banana-shaped) from Amazon and fitted to the rear with a new tyre. I have done approximately 200 miles but it hasn’t woken itself up. Just thinking about other options that don’t involve Motoscan or GS911. I’ve got an OBD 2 and the wake-up tool but I’m not an Android user - just Apple. Any advice on other apps that might allow me to reset the sensor?
