What's the best TPMS to use on a 2021 Spyder?

[pidjones]

Had Steel Mate (sensors similar to FOBO) tpms on our GL1800. Batteries on it lasted over five years. I learned that correct tire pressure setting was almost impossible without T stems. After having them installed, adjustment and checking with an independant gauge was simple. I understand the tires on a new Spyder have short lifetimes. I will have T stems ready for installation when new tires go on.

Highly recommend the FOBO2.

I have a 3-set on my Spyder, and a 2-set on my Spyder trailer. Work great.

Customer service... had one of mine on the Spyder (over a year old) that started draining the battery in less than 2 months. Contacted the FOBO guys, sent them a diagnostic (from their app), and they sent me a new device at no charge. Great company to work with!

I have a Garmin TPS on my RT. Haven't ridden for 9 months due to health. finally got out today, and the front two TPS monitors didn't work. Checked batteries...dead. Rear still working. Problem...trying to fine BR1225 batteries. The only place that has them in town wants $6.00 each. From Walmart, if I want to wait few days, 5 for 4.99 for same brand. If I need two, I'm sure I will need the third very shortly. I guess I will wait.:banghead:

Do you have rubber valve stems?

Do you have rubber valve stems?

Curious, what role do rubber valve stems play with this issue. Not being sarcastic, thinking there might be something I don’t know.

I have heard of the weight of the TPMS causing enough flex in the valve stem to mar the wheel.

The OEM short rubber stems don't leave enough room to use the lock-nut but the caps stay on ok.

I guess I dont understand. Is it really that hard to check the air pressure with a gauge once in a while? For those of us that have 6 motorcycles & 5 cars would go broke putting these on every vehicle. Or is it just the Can Am that are important?
Just asking, "inquiring minds want to know".

It's a luxury that some of us don't want to do without.

BTW, my car had it from the factory.

per Garmin site they won't work on the Zuma XT. Seems silly that a top of the line GPS doesn't support that feature
