I never use the TPMS as a gauge of ACTUAL tire pressure. I just use the TPMS as a gauge as to whether or not I'm losing air. Other than that, I trust an old-fashioned tire pressure gauge.
I've never had an issue ordering the correct size FeelFrees from BikeBandit.com.
Except I just checked and the rear tire is backordered from them, too. By the way, our scooter have H-rated tires, NOT Z-rated. Having a tire that can run at sustained speeds above 150 mph makes no sense. H-rated tires are good for sustained speeds up to 130 mph and is more than enough for our needs. We probably don't need anything more than an S-rated tire (sustained speeds up to 110 mph) but nobody makes them as far as I can tell.
I wanted to revisit this post. I seem to have the same false low tire pressure readings from the on-board TPMS display on my 2016 C650GT. I am now using both the BMW digital tire gauge as well as the Motion Pro analog tire pressure gauge to validate the tire pressures. However, besides that, it seems as if over time, that both tires are slowly losing pressure. I mean nothing has gone flat, but I'm a little concerned about this before I go on a 3 day road trip. I don't carry a "spare" tire with me!! Both tires have no obvious punctures to them......?
Saw my TPMS yesterday. Bolted to the inside center of the wheel - not an integral part of the valve stem. I wondered why my rims seemed to have an inordinate amount of wheel weights. The TPMS is huge and is the reason the wheel is so out of balance. And a replacement TPMS is $165 each. Hope I can just remove them when the batteries take a dump.
