MOTORBIKE TPMS DIGITAL TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2019
- Digital tyre (tire) pressure monitoring systems have become built in on some of the latest vehicles out there including motorbikes. But here is a review and accuracy test on an aftermarket version from www.australiandirect.com.au ...... with the help of Bob Jane T-Marts at Alberton in South Australia I managed to test the accuracy with their calibrated system, comparing the digital with a mechanical version from TJM. Keeping your two wheels rubbered up correctly is imperative to your safety and riding pleasure. Have a watch and see what results we get. Don't forget to like, comment and/or subscribe. CHEERS for watching.
24/7/19 An update ..... which I think is worth doing if any positive or negative info comes to light after a period of time using a product that has been previously reviewed. I charged this at installation, now seven weeks on and the unit still appears to have a full charge. I still love the product and the features and benefits have made it superb value. I've now got a solar powered version on my Toyota Hilux and am delighted with that also. It crossed my mind for people towing camper trailers or caravans that these could be a serious consideration to monitor their tyres on them too. From my experience these work at some distance from the sensors so there's no reason why the motorbike one couldn't also be used for that application.

Pretty thorough ... these are a bit old school now, but just saw this was a 4 year old review! For those considering these TPMS things, they're not really any use for tubed tyres, they won't really help because if you puncture with a tube, your air will be gone just as quick as any sensor would tell you. Great for tubeless because a lot of punctures will be 'slow' leak and you get a warning from the sensor.
Yes, this was on a F800GS Beemer so I had tubeless.
Battery replacement is the CR1632 Good to keep spare for the tyre sender units.

I’m now going to get this unit for my Kawasaki z1000 sx because of your video,cheers cocker. Hope we can all get on the uk roads soon this bloody virus is no joke.o well I’ll be over in Australia at Christmas for a month Adelaide is a beautiful place to ride a motorbike.
Ian, it's still my fave gadget! Drop me a message if you get to Adelaide, I'll buy you one of our splendid coffee's and we'll talk bikes! Cheers mate :-D
Any gadget freaks out there? I love a good gadget!! What's your favourite or most useful, this I think might be a favourite of mine!
This looks great. One question: Will the dust caps work if you have right angle valve stems? My bike has right angle stems and they come pretty close to the rim - and those caps look a bit bulky.
+The 333 they’ll work but what I’ll do is measure them so you can compare the size to the rim to see if the fit.
@@TheRiderGuider Awesome - thanks man!
Sending you Instagram message 👍🏼
Thanks for this, iv'e just purchased a set, so i'll save this until mine arrives.
Hadn't seen your message, hope they are okay!
Hey, do you still use them? If so, how have they held up?
I am thinking to get one. Thanks for the review and I know you are in Adelaide by seeing the background. haha. May I please know where to buy this product?
Ryan TSOI Hi Ryan 👍🏼 I got mine from AusDirect but they don’t appear to have any stock just now. Check out this link
www.sharkleathers.com.au/shark-tyre-pressure-monitoring-system?gclid=CjwKCAjw_LL2BRAkEiwAv2Y3SfHiphNehGO-3cIfxp0GUbo3yHZguL8z5KrkOUtOoQLpNaxF162b_hoCIWoQAvD_BwE however this for me is about $30 too expensive. Search Motorbike TPMS on eBay and I reckon you’ll find the same one cheaper 👍🏼😉 scroll down when the page opens ⬇️
Hi there,
Is it possible to independently set the max and min values alarm, trigger values for front and rear tyre?
Thx
Deda Mraz great question, and the answer is YES. I will follow this up soon with the instructions if you need them?
@@TheRiderGuider Yes, I need them for sure.
Regards
Deda Mraz I’ll be in touch soon. Got printed instructions coming later this week 👍🏼
my tpms starting to have a bit of a problem. battery on the display store power for a short time
Have you ever changed the battery on the display screen?
No mate, in fact my TPMS sold with the bike. I now run a bike with tubes so the TPMS is not as useful. If I get a puncture now my tyre is pretty much flat quickly.
What size wrench fits the sensor nuts? I bought a used motorcycle that came with this system
Marshall 3498 I’ll check in the morning mate and let you know.
Ok man thank you very much
@@marshall3498 I actually haven't installed the locking nuts to my sensors, I'm not going off road and hammering the bike so don't feel them necessary, they fit and stay on fine, I think the locking nuts are just for theft prevention and I'd be very surprised if anyone even spotted the valve sensors were different to standard. This morning I can't find my nuts (LOL) however if I remember rightly I think they were 14mm.
@@marshall3498 NO - THEY ARE 12MM ....... found my nuts!!! ☺
Are you still using this item? If so how has it held up, is it remaining to work well and accurately? thanks for the help!
Hi Cody. thanks for watching/commenting. I sold the GS to one of my best mates (Rich) and I'm kicking myself because I left it on the bike for him and haven't replaced it yet! When I get a second I'll be re-ordering. He's still using it as I instilled in to him the importance of keeping his pressures correct especially as he goes enduro riding) ... it's still working, still looks the same as far as I'm aware. Unfortunately the original supplier doesn't supply them now due to the fact they're all over eBay and no longer as profitable for them. www.ebay.com.au/itm/153942660528 ... off to order my new one now!
@@TheRiderGuider Cheers i appreciate the info, seen a few similar ones and just trying to come to a decision. Did it have any issues while in the rain? Thanks again.
cody merchant no .... pretty much a sealed unit. I ordered my new one from that link I put up 👍🏼
Do you need to balance the wheels after installing these?
Hi Liam, not the first to ask this, in my case I had no adverse effects by fitting them so for me I didn't bother, they hardly weigh anything at all. Not something I'd purposely get done until I next changed a tyre. What bike are you riding?
@@TheRiderGuider I installed mine today. Will head out for a ride later this afternoon and see how they are. Pressures are spot on so that’s confidence inspiring. I’m riding a Honda Africa Twin. There’s a good chance I carry more mud on a tyre than the TPMS weighs to be honest.
So what make was this?
Darren Baker I got this from Australian Direct, a 4x4 camping accessories supplier. Unfortunately they no longer stock then but available on eBay www.ebay.com.au/itm/153942660528
My car one senses motion to turn on, aka when I slam the door it beeps into life!
bridgendesar I got one for my car too. It’s saved a couple of tyres getting damaged beyond repair on two occasions so far after I was alerted to a puncture. Great product. Thanks for stopping by 🙂👍🏼
Pity you didn't know how it works before you tried to tell others!!
Didn't watch it all then?
this review is bogus
How do you set the tyre pressures
really? What's bogus about it?
