Anyone using an aftermarket tire pressure monitor? One thing I really liked on my Concours. I see Orange and Dolan come up in Google. Which sensors, in the wheel or on the valve stem?
I did a search and only came up with 14 threads as well. IMHO, there is just not enough info on TPMS systems. It's pretty sad actually.Have you checked the previous 14 threads on the subject by putting TPMS into the search box?
Not trying to be cheeky and I am a TPMS fan. But there has been very little discussion about the various options. I'm so happy you have decided to start another TPMS thread and run this subject into the ground.
One thing a TPMS can do that no amount of OCD checking can address is a puncture sustained while already underway. That early warning in my experience is a big safety advantage allowing you to get to a safe location before the tire has lost all of its air.I don’t mind tpms, but don’t find it an absolute necessity. If you check your tires before each ride and again at fuel stops.

Agreed! Had a massive butt pucker moment on my old V-Strom at 75mph. A previously unknown screw in my rear tire made a run for it, dropping tire pressure to 0 very quickly, resulting in a nice wobble.One thing a TPMS can do that no amount of OCD checking can address is a puncture sustained while already underway.

OK, I’m shopping.I’m been using Garmin’s with their GPS app for several years now.
I have had some issues and have had the sensors replaced under warranty once. Currently have the rear sensor acting up but sometimes it’s just the battery. Jury’s still out.
I like having the app in the GPS and would rather not have to mount a separate display so I’ve stuck with them but I may also be shopping.
I think they could be a life saver provided you get a low psi warning like Garmin does, these are the only ones I have experience with.
