Pete's thoughts on the matter.
Others will disagree with him!

Pete for once im in complete agreement with you mine have been in a box for a long while now as I have a tyre pressure gauge and know how to use it .

rhank you Charlie.

For over five and half years mine have worked perfectly with one battery change, and when in Belgium warned me of the rear losing pressure giving me time to get to a garage and sort it.

Worth there weight in gold I reckon.

Ditto it helped me get home when the rear couldn't be plugged I kept pumping up with the compressor I carry as soon as it was back down to around 15 psi I stopped and pumped up again

My first thoughts are they are great, then when looking at the cost of replacement I think what an unnecessary expensive piece of junk.
Mine is a 2009 model which I have owned since December 2010 and is still on the original batteries but the front is now showing need of replacement when cold. After a few miles it warms up and the display is fine.

Then I think how expensive parachute silk is.

That's good considering yours is now 8 years old Chris

We're lucky, Chris. Our sensors/senders can be opened and the battery changed. I *believe* that isn't the case for the Gen2 GTR - I think they are sealed (I could be wrong and often am - just ask my wife )

I'd planned to fit new batteries at my last tyre change. I went prepared: soldering iron, solder, new batteries... The one thing I forgot? My glasses. I only need them for reading or close-up stuff. Trying to solder at arms length was beyond a joke, so it's on my to-do list for the next tyre change.

In the meantime I have exactly the same symptoms as you. Even so, I keep a digital pressure gauge in the 'glove box' and always check the pressures before I set off - I know they'll read on the main display after a few miles. Eventually.

Cheers
