Runnerhiker, how do you like your new bike? I saw your post reply about TPMS on the Triumph RAT Tiger 900 forum.
The TPMS on the Tigers, while fairly accurate, have a very small tolerance range from factory spec before the warning light(s) come on. I had a bit of trouble getting the warning light to stay off in Santa Fe after dropping the pressures in the tires. Apparently, I needn't have done that for the 7000' nominal elevation since the bike was riding fine beforehand, and all I managed to do was "switch on" the warnings. PITA. The guys who offroad a lot and like to drop pressures complain a lot about the TPMS. For me it is never an issue as I always maintain 34/42 for the Tiger, with only the natural pressure drop over time of maybe 2-3 psi before I air up. The tolerance is just a little wider than that.
