Hello gents.
I've just fitted a new battery into a tyre sensor.checked voltage ,fine at 3.16v I when for a ride with the sensor in the tank storage compartment thinking that the bikes system would find it. After 15 mins it did not connect or register. Will these units only work in the tyre or can they be tested outside the rim.. .
This sensor was broken off by a tyre fitter but internals look good, i just swapped out broken stem and plastic. so this unit has not been on bike for nearly 2 years now, so only rear had sensor.
Has anybody got any ideas....Im thinking about taking them both out and just fitting plain valve stems

I am sure the sensor has to be under pressure to work.. Was the dash reading anything?

they defo wont work static in the glove C, I heard one of the yanks attaching the sensor to a piece of string and spinning it around to get a reading , he did this because he got mixed up which sensor was front or rear and this method allowed him to determine which was which

There's probably a joke hiding in there somewhere...

no reading at all. i was thinking that it would at least give a flat tyre warning to prove some sort of connection

Hello again gents.
Got it working.........I taped it to back wheel put bike on center stand started engine and put in 4 gear . Unit come up at 0 psi. If i had thought about it a bit harder i would of figured it would of had accelerometer in sensor so olny active when bike is in motion.
Cheers gents.
