Riding the bike this morning on the motorway and the red light comes on the dash. Glance at the display and the TPS warning is on. The rear tyre is at 27psi.

Fortunately I was only a few miles from a service station so pulled in to have a look athe tyre. Two nails! Fortunately I had a repair kit so proceeded to repair. Got the right angle valve out to get the tyre up to pressure only to find out the air hose was bust. That cost 50p.

Luckily I had my Slime portable air pump with me (as you do) so managed to pump the tyre.







And fixed

I can see the problem, no top box fitted.

TPS has saved me twice with warning of rear tyre punctures.
