Tyres and tyre pressure sensors.

[Dermot.B]

I'm due a change of tyres and the TPMS are intermittently faulting out so I'm hoping to kill two birds with the one stone and have both jobs done at the same time.
Are there any recommendations for someone that can carry this out in the Dublin area other than Duffys?

May be worth buying the sensors and then going to a decent motorcycle tyre shop, they will do it as part of the tyre fitting service...
If you can, leave your bike at home, take one wheel at a time, when you reinstall the first wheel, go for a spin and the bike will "see" the sensor
If you do both wheels at once you'll need to program the sensor to the bike with a diagnostic tool

Motorworks have equivalent to BMW ones for a LOT less money - if that’s any help

You can replace the batteries in the sensors if you are up for some delicate solder work and opening things up that aren’t designed to open .
Tabbed smaller batteries are very cheap but the genuine bigger Maxells are difficult to source .

Thanks for the reply. I did pick up replacement sensors on line. To remove the tyres replace the sensors refit the new tyres and reprogram the sensors in the hope they work and possibly have to do the job again if they don't is a daunting task, I was hoping as I require new tyres I could find someone more used to the process to supply the tyres, sensors and replace both.

Can you not disable the option to use them in gs911 ?

Let's be honest early bikes didn't have the technology, and we managed just fine??

This may help


If you have one working sensor, (say the FRONT) - replace the other first. Go for a spin. It will pickup the new sensor after a couple of miles or so.
If you replace BOTH at once, the bike will be confused - it won't know which is the front or the rear.
I have 2 rear wheels (long story) and swap them occasionally - no issues and I don't need to use my GS911 or wake-up tool. I have replaced both TPMS sensors with 2141M schrader from Autodoc.
If you have spoke (ADV) wheels you will need a new valve assy too
If you replace both at once, you will almost certainly need a wake-up tool and a GS911 (or equivalen
