Who makes a reliable tire pressure monitoring system that is also reasonably priced? Any recommendations from your experience? Thanks much!
Can't wait to see the answers on this! Also, did u install the steel valve stems?Who makes a reliable tire pressure monitoring system that is also reasonably priced? Any recommendations from your experience? Thanks much!
This TPM is what I am using on the XR. Has been pretty reliable. Decent battery life on the sensors and unit before needing charging as well.This is what I have mounted https://www.amazon.com/SYKIK-Wireless-Pressure-Monitoring-Motorcycles/dp/B07BFH9WZ7/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Motorcycle+tpms&qid=1624803282&sr=8-4
I have the sensors mounted on angled stems. Battery life has been about a year on the sensors. It has been accurate and comes on after just rolling a few feet on the bike. Would recommend it to anyone.
Having a TPMS does not relieve anyone of their responsibility to maintain their tires at the correct pressure. It is intended to provide warning of a low pressure, or dropping pressure, condition that may develop while the vehicle is in motion. The pre-ride inspection will only tell you that the tires are properly inflated at that moment. A person can do as many pre-ride inspections as they like, none of them will prevent a leak due to a foreign object, such as a nail, screw, piece of glass, etc., that penetrated a tire while you were riding and caused a leak. Unless of course those inspections are done every five minutes during the ride, which would be rather inconvenient to say the least.I view them two ways....electrical toys that are not needed, and stuff for lazy people who won't take 5 minutes to do safety inspections before riding...
It used to be folks who rode motorcycles knew how to maintain, ride, and care for their bikes, it was a relationship between rider and machine.
I view the tpms as a safety device, it isn't a 'toy' and it doesn't keep anyone, I hope from checking their tires before a ride.TPMSHaving a TPMS does not relieve anyone of their responsibility to maintain their tires at the correct pressure.

Flame retardant suit on....
Please elaborate. I've had zero issues with the TPMS on my two 08 Acura TL's with valve stem sensors over a combined six years and ~100k miles.The TPMS Honda that used in cars and SUVs was fundamentally flawed and prone to problems.
This is the system I was referring to. We had a 2014 CR-V and a 2017 Accord Hybrid with the ABS based system and it was not unusual to get false warnings. With the CR-V I had to buy a new tire at less than 20,000 miles and the nominal difference in tire size between it and the other three set off warnings even more often. I was recalibrating the system probably once a month with the 2014 POS system.Our latest, 17 CR-V uses the ABS sensors to detect a rotational differential between the four wheels to signal decreased tire pressure - reduced pressure = smaller tire diameter. It doesn't even pretend to report pressure at all. Vehicle must be moving and it does require some distance to signal that deviation.
