tire pressure monitoring
I would like to see if anyone has used the wireless tire pressure monitoring kit from Big Bike Parts sold by Show Chrome. They show a regular trike but the number one cap goes on the single front tire. Has anyone used these before?

Harry,
How accurate is that system...(Comparing it to the BRP's supplied gauge), and were there any issues with the balance of the tires?

BRP's supplied gauge?
What is that and should it come with the Spyder?

Check your tool kit, should be in there.

It is in the tool kit but the battery was DOA I've been using a digital one that seems accurate and repeatable.

Check..!!

I tested it and found the following issues
1) It reads about 2 PSI higher than my "pen style" analog gauge. So which is right? As confusious says "Man with too many pressure gauges never knows the correct PSI"
2) If I hold the gauge on the stem, the readout keeps climbing! WTH is up with that? I held it on my front tire and it kept climbing to 37 PSI before it stopped increasing!
Am I doing something wrong using this thing or is it just a POS?
Bob
todays posts have a repair for that problem. Take the gauge apart reseat the o ring and tighten the holding plate on the pressure sensor...he has pictures. But seems you should not have to repair a new item...
Just checked...it was you..!!

One word of caution -- the fine print from both these manufacturers says not to use them with rubber valve stems. For the Canadian outfit Hawkshead (tpms.ca), it's item 14 in their FAQ's. A "chat" with Big Bike Parts (Tiregard) confirmed the same for them -- they don't recommend using with rubber stems. Some of the other manufacturers are more upfront about that recommendation. Doran tells you not to use rubber stems and even provides straight and 90-degree metal valve stems with their systems but I don't know if they would fit on a Spyder.
I've thought of installing these on my RT and my Gold Wing but any even slight possibility of causing premature valve stem failure kind of defeats the purpose.

I have used these on 2 RTs so far for nearly 3 years with no sign of any problem. Maybe if the tires had significantly longer life it might be a concern.
I suspect the warnings are mostly a disclaimer to protect the seller.
