So I wonder, is there a tire pressure monitor and a good electric tire pump out there?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Nice video RH. Although I don't ryde a Ryker, I viewed to see if there was any info in it that might apply to my bike and I think there was. Thanks.
Re electric tire pumps; go to auto supply stores and you will see there are a few that come as tire repair kits, so you can pick and choose what pleases you.

Don't have one.....
I do not see a sensor for tire pressure could only be a balance thing but more the electronics that he mentioned. The only code or warning is the VSS which is basically a angle issue. I have set that off many times and it clears and on we ryde. Having a pump is not a bad Idea and there are many you can google I carry a mushroom plug kit with c02 cartrages....:thumbup:

Just a coincidence.
Could not be a "balance thing". Other wise you could not start it if you are parked on a hill!

That is the one I have and it did come in second on the MCN review. I have used it in the past on my Harley - just do not hold it when in use as it gets very hot.
This guy has done a few video's. In his early videos he admits he has no motorcycle experience what so ever. But now he appears to be an expert. So, just because you saw it on the internet doesn't mean squat. If it were my Ryker, and knowing bikes the way I do, the first thing I would have done is disconnect the battery, let it set a while and reconnect. Probably all the dealer did anyway.

Hey RH. While a portable tire pump is always a nice thing to have along, I think you’ve misinterpreted the video. It had electronics issues that were rectified. As a side conversation, the dealer discussed sensitivity of these machines to tire pressures. We all know that’s true from a handling standpoint. But he never said that the failure to start was due to low tire pressure, or all they had to do was air up the tires.

You get get a similar system, with a small electronic display (so you don't need to involve your cell phone), for WAY lower in price.
I have one just like this one in our RV: https://www.amazon.com/🌹Jonerytime🌹...t=&hvlocphy=9012424&hvtargid=pla-698353825110

Your typical self-appointed Internet expert.
Instant fame.
But if he posts many other absurd things like this (won't start BECAUSE the tires are low) he will just a quickly go down in flames too.

I saw this thread and had to comment. I too have seen videos posted by this guy. I have commented on a few of his. His replies are a clear indication of his lack of experience and knowledge. Just goes to show you that anyone can be an expert on social media.
As far as a compressor is concerned, there are many out there and threads here to guide one. I carry both a compressor and a tire plug kit, just in case.

To each his own but I would never use that stuff......except maybe in a lawn mower.
If it does it's job, then you end up with a hole in the tire that is plugged only with some of that "goop" and you probably don't even know it.
I don't like what might happen next.
