Anyone ever had problem with their TPM not registering any reading when moving off?

 

If yes, solution?

papabread: i have not encountered one myself yet. but could it be the sensor's battery out of juice?

I guess tat's the cause too. Can't think of any other plausible ones.

papabread79,

 

If you have managed to troubleshoot this TPC problem, do share.

 

I am wondering if there is a battery on the sensor which means removing the tire and replacing the battery... and if that's so... what batteries are they?

 

I'll do a search and see who the web comes up with....

Paparoti.......how are you? Want to go Sg Selai again? Or maybe Kg Peta to camp when the bridge is okay??

$46K is a good price considering the 2 boxes are included. And of coz the current sky-high COE fee.

I am of the opinion that it has the battery at the stem to transmit via RF. I did went to PML to ask them to check on it when i sent it in for routine servicing last month, but they told me everything was fine. At that time, the problem would surface intermittently, but as of now, it is happening with every turn of the ignition.

 

I will get them to check on it again next week and ensure that something is done as the warranty ends next month.

Just spoke with them on the TPC earlier this morning.

 

My front unit takes about 10mins of riding to get a reading on the tire whilst the rear gives me a reading within 50metres from moving off......

 

Apparently there is no way to change the battery and instead the whole unit needs to be replaced. Been loosely quoted a "hundred plus" for a unit. And they can be purchased individually.

 

Till the unit goes "kaput"... i'll just use it till then.

 

I have also looked into the microfiche on the parts and the TPC details are below:

 

Part Number: 36237694420

Name: SENSOR WITH VALVE - RDC

Price for 2: USD145.89

Hi Fir_Chan,

 

Thanks for all the info rendered. It is very useful for me.

[antartica]

can anyone please advise me if there are any shops that can do a de-cat and retune (if necessary)

thank you,

 

Ant

Hey antartica bro, de-cat for BMW bikes is the way to go,

you can free up some horsepower

but the best way is to change the linkage.

Usually is header to midst section but some are rear to Muffler.

rather than digging out the internal cat.

Retune is not neccessary but if you do,

you gain the smooth power delivery and some HP numbers again.

All the best to your project.

 

that was what i was thinking...

any shops to reco?

thanks

Hi guys i just test out the booster plug and it does work! As this is to individual feelings, as i just change my exhaust with the plug it works just nice to me :-)

[SpecNadz]

Only recently do i notice the frequent backfire "pop" when i close throttle after acceleration. It wasnt normal, any idea what caused it and/or is it a problem? Anyone with answers? -R1100GS

[my2sons]

hi bro, i,m on a gs650, experiencing the same problem as u, newbie

[GuiNNeSS]

If u didn't change anything prior to this then is there any servicing due? Spark plug? Air filter?

[SpecNadz]

Serv. due next mth but it has occur even right after service.New plugs & all.(denso Iridium-IK22). K&N air filter cleaned, i kinda gave the filter a generous dose of its oil.

i checked earlier & my air-box a bit oily... do u think the fuel injectors got anything to do bout it...? but no loss in throttle power.. hhhmmm....???

I do have the same experience, either:

1) New exhaust

2) Air ratio is not balance

 

1)Either you can go to PML for diagnost.

2)Get a power commander and tune at HKL.

3)Get a booster plug. (which i do this, the cheapest, easy and safe time.)

 

I hope these info help you :-)

[my2sons]
