Yet Another TPMS topic

[Freddy]

Why not try the manufacturer - they're just round the corner from you.  They supplied the OEM TPMS wheel parts.

Just wrote to them..

I doubt they will be able to sell those to me.

I work on the aviation industry in the same type of material and contracts usually forbids the OEM of direct selling

but that worth the shot

I'll keep you posted

FYI I exchanged a couple of email

The OEM takes 50€ to change both battery.

I am getting more info as to where to send and how to pay

Cheers

Wot I done.

So took the wheel off the bike and removed the tyre, you can see the TPMS screwed on to the valve.



Sensor removed and opened



Battery sliced off using a sharp knife, only bit of blood spilt.



I then soldered on a new battery and put it all back together.

It seemed a shame to put on the squared off BT21 so I put on a fresh PR4 GT. Tomorrow the front will get the same treatment.

That's when I did mine....at a tire change.  Good pictures BTW.  I used a battery with the tabs already on it.  Didn't want to take a chance on overheating it.

good posting Joe, and great pictures too

Changing the battery is easy, especially if you get one with tabs already.

I'm after a new sensor or two.  I had to ride my bike about 25-30km 3 weeks ago with a dead flat tyre after picking up a small pieces of iron in the rear and rapid deflation.  That long ride on the flat tyre damaged the sensor, not to mention the tyre itself.  I'm keen to get  1 or 2 'blue dot' sensors so please advise if they are available as a separate item and price.

Were you able to get the LDL right angle sensors?  I already have those.

You need to get yourself  a puncture repair kit Freddy, well worth the money

I have one, in fact two.  Trouble is I have 3 bikes and guess what!

Freddy,

LDL confirmed that they have no stock of sensors available... They only change the batteries

I guess KHI stopped sourcing those from LDL and switched to a new supplier

LDL only sells the sensors, not the stems. What do you mean ''you were you able to get the LDL right angle sensors?  I already have those.?

Cheers

[Freddy]

No sensors from them eh?  That's a disappointment.

Yes Kaw supply a completely different sensor now but I would like to retain the LDL sensors with the LDL rt angle valve stem - is what I meant to say.  The new type sensor I don't like.

Just curious if you got yourself a pair of them yet as a small number of them are available in Australia,

Great posting Joe.

[Joe]

Just a quick follow up to say the wheels are back on the bike and the TPMS are working perfectly (and the tyres feel great!).

[PRD]

Excellent news.
