TPS is useful

[Lonewolf]

The thing is if he hadn't have washed the bike it would have a natural barrier to deflect road debris from the tyres and he wouldn't have got the puncture/s. So basically its all our fault for putting pressure on him to maintain the bike.

Obviously it is .. all our fault ! Shall we club together and buy him a set of PR4's ??

Is anyone running without TPS`s in, just ordinary tyre valves.
Do you still get flashing low battery on the dash if you replace the TPS with ordinary valves or does that stop?

I have had mine took off and normal valves put in , and it is just blank where the tyre pressure would normally be , no flashing , I think they are more trouble than they are worth ,

  I think we've all had bikes for years and survived without them. Plus, I've just opted to have my tyres changed by my local kwack dealer as opposed to a cheaper tyre fitter purely because of the TPSs.

Having had more puncture s  on PR3's than any other tyres I have ridden on in the last 30 years it is definitely a good idea to have tyre pressure sensors. On other tyres probably not necessary!
