Swap wheels . Will TPMS detect them?

You'll need the new set coding into the bike.... GS911 will do it...
You'll also need the numbers off the new ones or if not, the tool to wake them up ready to be learned... cheap tool off eBay will do it...
Depends where in Staffs you are... I have the kit to do it all, including the wake up tool... I could do it for a small donation to breast cancer UK... I'm near Stourbridge..

Good of you Roger. I have a GS911 and possibly a wake up tool somewhere too.
I was told the bike would learn up to 2 sets automatically, but I assume that is wrong and I need to get the old GS911 out?
PS. I have a DD to Breast Cancer….

I swapped a set from my 2017 1200gs onto my newer 2021 1250gs assuming/hoping that the bike would ‘read’ the new wheels but no luck. Was suggested to swap 1 wheel only and if that wheel was registered then keep it on and swap the other wheel. Tried but didn’t work lol.
In the end I swapped the TPMS sensors so now works fine!
Pre LC models have the facility to store 2 x sets of wheels, I've got that on my own 2008 GSA. Newer LC models only allow one set to be stored, so make a note of the old numbers when you over write them to make it easier next time....

Roger.
If you swop the wheels one at a time, take the bike for a run, then swop second wheel it will learn the new set.
I replaced my front wheel and it showed up within a hundred yards.
If you replace both at the same time there will be a hissy fit and a sulk as this appears to be too much change all in one go.

Once you have the numbers in the 911, it’s a simple job to reprogramme them when you change them.
I do this all the time and have done on my last four bikes
This normally takes about 3 or four miles to recognise the new wheel
Never had a problem

You don't 'need' a GS911 as you can swap one wheel at a time and go for a short ride. It's will automatically pickup the new sensor
Do you do 1 wheel at a time?
Yes you have to do one at a time, i normally do the front first a little bimble down the motorway one junction about 3 miles in total turn around and it fires into life at 3 or four miles go back and change the back one
Never failed on me yet
