Hi guys,,not sure if this has been covered. I am having the wheels powder coated but want to put ordinary valves back in. Is there something I need to disconnect to stop a possible error message.
Cheers

No. It just works.
OK cheers
You need to disconnect the battery earth for a few minutes. This will allow the dash screen to reset and not 'look for' the sensors after they have been removed and the bike is in motion. Ensure you mark which sensor went in F & R wheels so that they can be reinstalled correctly at some future time if required.
If failing sensor batteries is the problem why not replace them if they are the early type? Later type can also be done but not so easily.

I would suggest you consider some of these, they make checking tyre pressures much easier BUT make sure you select the correct size otherwise they wont fit, I think the size required is 11.3 mm...
There are different colour choices and fit them so that they face outwards when your bike is on its sidestand :yes:

Went to M and P in Gorseinon and he wouldn't sell me an ordinary pair, said you can't do it. There again he said the ZZR 1400 ( which I also have) has the same valves which it doesn't. I'm having the wheels powder coated so they have to come out. Can they go back in if need be?
Many thanks for the replies and the link, I have ordered a pair..

I swap wheels all the time. You can use the original pressure sensor or an ordinary valve with no sensor with no problems and no resetting of anything. If you use the wrong pressure sensor valve (not programmed into your bike computer) you will get an error message. Swapping back from an ordinary valve to the original sensor valve is no problem either, also with no resetting of anything.
:agree:
Have replaced the TPMS valves in my 2011 with the angled variety suggested above (in blue, lovely). Did'nt touch/alter anything else. No warnings, all works fine. On the dash modes the tyre pressure info page (?) just shows ----
:ohplease:
model c14 year 2016 can 90 degree fitting be fitted and will TPS work, any info is most welcomed
your assistance is highly appreciated.

If you disconnect the battery earth lead for a few minues, that -- -- will disappear as I stated in 3 above.

Only an external elbow fitting - screw it on to add air then remove it.
