Tyre valve confusion

[Freddy]

you took the words right out of my mouth!

You'll be sorrrryyyy.

It's fixed properly very easily, so why disable an excellent safety feature?  Incapable or what?  I have spare straight stems from replacing them with the proper rt angle ones which prevent that problem happening and the batteries are simple to replace even if low skilled.

  I don't know why folk get so sniffy about TPS which has once saved me from being stranded, by informing me of a slow puncture whilst in a remote area -  I managed to make it home, and again, very recently, alerted me to a rapid rear tyre deflation when travelling at high speed on a major road, which, it could be argued, prevented a serious accident

What is so bad about that

I agree too, I had a blood bike last year with a slow air leak, although I got home, it was completely flat later that afternoon.
I just find it annoying that the warning takes over all the cluster functions, unless you override it with the two button gag.

[virginiajim]

totally agree with that.

More stuff to go wrong and expensive to replace.

but not generally all that problematic and certainly not as expensive as sliding down the road on your arse eh Pete

True but you have been riding long enough to know when it does not feel right.  More said on this forum on tps than any other subject. It comes up all the time.

I have to say that since having the TPS sensors replaced just after I bought my GTR that the Tyre Pressure screen is the on thats predominantly on view for me

The fist bit is true, so why buy a 1400GTR?  The second bit is true only if the owner likes spending his/her money to get someone else to fix it.  As said above, the TPMS is simple and cheap to maintain by almost any owner if s/he is keen to do so.

It's just a personal thing whether you get on with the tps or not , a bit like the rock hard seat , the bufferting screen ,  seizing front discs , do you remap it to get rid of the low down flat spot , delete the last one for all who only use Eco mode ,  sticking preload on rear shock , mudguard replacement , bar risers, exhaust swap , all these we can fine tune to get just what we like , changed or upgraded all these on mine , still love it and after 5 years and 20000m its a keeper , never had a bike in the last 40 years that I have ever left stock ,

the rock hard seat

Rock hard seat?

The stock GTR seat is luxury after an OEM Honda Blackbird seat and  not far off the gel pad one I normally use(d) on the Bird

Actually my better half says the rear pillion seat is comfier then the gel pad saddle on my bird
