Fobo won't install properly? Any ideas?

[shoppersal]

I purchased FOBO for my tires have 2 out of 3 installed. For some reason cannot get the front right installed. It tells me it belongs on a different tire, or if a friend is around that have FOBO's installed on their bike then it tells me it belongs to them. Does anyone have any idea how to install it ? My friend has them & her back tire fobo doesn't want to be installed . I have a 17 RTL 51,000 miles. She has a 2020 RTL Thank You!!!! Sal Quinter

Most FOBO's come with a spare set of batteries which are not much better than the almost dead ones inside. Get brand new batteries and try again. If one is telling you it belongs to a previous bike then it's a returned set and either release them from your phone and return them or talk to FOBO support.

Had a similar issue with mine when i went to install my air shock one. what i did was pulled one of the front tire ones off and moved it far away and stuck the shock one on the tire and programed it and then moved it.

I had the same problem (different wheel). I sold the FOBO and bought the Garmin set. No problem.

My FOBO 2 installed perfectly on my RTS. I find it perfect for my needs. Sorry to have heard your misfortune and hope that you get it sorted out.

I had nothing but trouble installing the Fobo tire pressure sensors on my 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3-T.
I finally figures it out. I needed to take the phone case off of the phone. When I did that they installed instantly.

Hope this helps

That’s interesting, Mike…… I have had two different phones, with a couple of different (and thickish) cases on each of them and never had an issue with “connecting” to the unit over 4 years. Who knows
