I wonder if, to save battery life, some sort of centrifugal motion is required to activate a switch internally in the sensor.

You're on to something, and it just makes me wish I was paying more attention to this detail when I could swear I just "hit the button" and got to the "My Vehicle" screen and the pressures were displayed.
On page 150 (in the "Technology in Detail" section), it repeats the verbiage above and then goes on to say that the sensor readings will continue to display after the bike has come to rest, as follows: "The sensors continue to transmit the measured readings for some time after the vehicle comes to a stop. Duration of measured data transmission after motorcycle is stationary: min 15 min"
This leads me to believe I was toggling through screens after a ride and, even though the bike was garaged and turned off, it was likely within the 15 minute window when the display was still active.
Hmmm. So now I'm back to "stuck sensor readings" that don't change even when I top off, deflate and re-inflate, etc. I'll see what Ed says about that tomorrow.
