When I told my mechanic I had the dash lines showing up for the front tire he hocked it up to the computer and told me he could see it failed to something like 68 or 78 times on the computer. Service manager called the warranty company and they replaced the next tire change a week later. Maybe those of you with the 911 devises can see this as well on units. My rear sensor has not failed but it does hope it does by next April when my warranty expires.
I sent my old one to Wayne as he mentioned as was interested if he could get a new battery in it. There are some videos on uTube showing people changing the batteries. They are not cheap from BMW.
How old was your RS and how many miles when you replaced it?
Five to six years seems to be average.
Our k1300S bikes were more than five years old and did not need replacements.
No need to check with a 911. When you see it takes a few miles before the tire pressure displays you know the battery is getting weak.
I noticed at the beginning of our trip a couple weeks ago it took at least five miles before the rear tire pressure would show.
Last month when I reset the service reminder and checked for faults
it did not show one for TPM.
The GPS 911 will not show the TPM battery level and I don't think the shop computer will show the battery level. On your bike the shop computer probably showed the TPM failed to communicate with the bike computer.
