I fitted the Garmin value cap sensors and they work fine and are accurate, however you need to wait till you change tyres to move the orientation on the values otherwise they hit the calipers, be warned
Ok Fair comment, I just found them to be a pain. I did look into that, but it was not possible with the Triumph, maybe different with other systems.
If the sensors are external, just remove them prior to taking the bike to a tyre fitter. If they are internal, let the tyre fitter know - and seize the opportunity to replace the batteries while the tyre is off.
I use the Garmin ones, and they work great. Only time I had an issue was as the battery was going flat. You can adjust the acceptible range so you don't get false alerts. When riding 2 up its often not easy to tell you have a slow puncture. Usually the first sign to me is the stand touching down at an earlier lean angle. As franksie says, you need to move the front valve stem around so the sensor clears the calipers. When the 1200 multi was first announced they said it had tpms (though the bike didn't have it when released), and there was an accessory version for the previous 1000 multi, but it soon got removed from the accessory list.
Indeed, and very likely the rear one as well. The valve is held in place by a locknut inside, so the valve can only be moved around while the tyre is off.
Garmin valve cap ones linked by Bluetooth to my Zumo work okay. Occasionally the front one drops out for a while but usually re-pairs after a minute or two. My impression is they are fine for monitoring tyre pressure and slow punctures but would not be quick enough to warn of a rapid puncture. I guess that would be obvious anyway.
I have steelmate type TPMS but havnt got it fully working yet as have to adjust the valves as mine hit the calipers, have ordered these from my-fobo.com The twin seem good for the front as pressure monitor can go on top and can still access side valve for refilling. Rear will probably need to be angled one, it’s a straight at moment.
i use these short valves at front and rear https://www.alligator-ventilfabrik.de/index.php?Motorrad-Metallventil-25MS-447413
I saw the new 1260 at the Long Beach Moto show today and it looks like it has TPM standard. This is a (really bad) photo that I took while the dash was running through a demo loop. It only showed the tire pressure when in Enduro mode, but I'd imagine that if it definitely has it, it would be possible to show it in any mode.
Wow, well spotted, fingers crossed I suspect though that they might have designed it in but not fitting the sensors and receiver module just yet, or else surely they would have announced it.
An expensive way of getting TPM's .... shall I ask the wife and see where the conversation goes been nice knowing you all
I was having a trawl about for 1260 info, and came across a link to this ducati tpms kit on another site: https://www.euronetbike.net/duc-96765393b.html https://www.ducatistore.net/ducati-tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-tpms.html This isn't on the ducati site so I assume it must be old stock or something.
