The local tyre centre should be open if you have a look
Have ordered a unit from a place in Spain. when it arrives I'll swap them over... then re-do the old one.

I totally agree with little Brit, I do check my tyres quite regularly with a gauge, but I would not want to be without TPI on my GS for the same reason stated above, a slow puncture is not easy to detect as the pressure is dropping off slowly, and if you have a slow puncture on a motorway or similar long straight road, sometimes it only becomes apparent when your bikes starts slithering around on the first corner you come across, and if you are fully loaded touring two-up it can get a bit exciting.
Nothing wrong with extra safety gizmos in my opinion.
They are great, not for checking your pressures, But being alerted to punctures when riding.
Never thought about that b4 but good call from those that have said about monitoring slow punctures 
Just last Sunday, six of us riding, Lead bike pulls over, I pull up behind and I see he is spinning his back wheel, And bingo, the dash TPS flashed up red, and there was a huge screw in the tyre. Thats exactly what its for !
My rear went a few days ago, red triangle came up and I was able to pull up in time before the rear let go.
POWDER checks? Give us a break!!
Anyway, not true.
My bikes have TPMS. Regardless I check my tyre pressures weekly (and oil, water, blah, blah) , whether they need it or not. OTOH, TPMS tells me about the puncture I've picked up long before I would have know about it otherwise.

This is not my experience. Both my 2014 GSA LC and my 2018 GSA LC can only store one ID per location; my 2009 GSA had 4 memory positions (two for front and two for rear). So, changing wheels means recoding. All 4 ID's for the two wheel sets I have are known to me, so I can change that myself with the Motoscan app + OBDlink BT adapter.
I wonder if this is the limitation of the MotoScan app and or the OBDLink compared to the GS911.
I also have the MotoScan app and OBDLink MX and can only add on set of TPMS at a time on my 1250GSA. It overwrites the previous and don't store both.
My local dealer said they can add my second set and when I change rims, it will pick up the current TPMS automatically.
It would be interesting to hear from others with the GS911 if they can see 2 slots per wheel.

No, this is not a limitation of the Motoscan app. With my '14 GSA I used to go to my dealer to recode. With the official diagnose computer they also could only register one set at the time.
By the way, they did it for free, so there was not any revenue model related to this.

They quoted me £80 to add the extra set which took me about 3 minutes to do with the MotoScan app.
My bike is going a service in July so I'll ask them again if they can add 2 sets.
If you look at the GS911 link below, it should store 2 sets hence my thinking its a MotoScan app limitation.

I did some further digging and found this on the MotoScan website.
®win, you are right, it seems the new LC models only support 1 set of TPMS at a time. I'll query this anyway when the bike goes in.

Teach sensors using the MotoScan app
Depending on the motorcycle model, either 1 or 2 wheel sets are supported.
The older models, such as K25, K72, support 2 sets, so that you can teach them both and change them if necessary, without having to learn each time again.
With newer ones, from K50, K48 etc., there is only one sentence and training is required with every change.
