My issue is it is actually reading the pressure wrong, it says 32 in the front tire and 34 in the rear, when I check it the pressure is correct 36 in front and 40 in rear. So I actually think my sensor is off. Dealer put air in and reset the computer and sure enough its back on. This will be the third time I bring it back, most likely Ill just wait until I need new tires to save a trip.

My TPS system is a couple of lbs off on the front tire and pretty and close on the rear. I don't care. The real value of the TPS is that it will alert you to a change in pressure when something is wrong. When that happens, I am use an accurate gauge to get a more accurate reading. Accuracy in tires is fleeting anyway. The pressure changes, from before you start your bike up, till you've gone sixty miles, at highway speeds on a hot day, by about 6 lbs. +/- 3 lbs in the TPS is nothing to worry about, just get to know the characteristics and you will be fine.
