Dealer issues
I hesitate to post this, but it’s bothering me. On a 6000 mile round trip via historic Route 66, then back home. On my way through Missouri the tire pressure light came on. I looked at the details and the pressure in the rear said 43psi. I verified that with a pressure gauge. I found a dealer , no thanks to the poi in the Harley nav system. They looked at it and got it to reset after sometime. I road for a couple of more days, detouring through Roswell and Carlsbad NM. Back on Rt 66 in Az close to Death Valley HD the light comes on again. I make it to Death Valley Harley Davidson, talked to a very nice service writer and I believe a part manager. They were willing to get me in and a change the sensor and have me out in 2 hours, but they didn’t have the sensor. The parts manager printed out a list of dealer that had the sensor. I was headed to Laidlaw HD just to pay a visit, but they didn’t have the part, I picked the closest one , Quade Harley Davidson . I rode there asked if they had the part (yes),” when can you get me I “. Their response “ three days from now”. So I purchased the part just to have it in case someone could fit me in. Since I was going to Laidlaws I gave them a call. There response was 2 weeks. I thought as much rode time those guys put in they may be more responsive. By that time I was feed up with California traffic, and 110 degree heat, I just pointed the bike north to Las Vegas. I’m hoping someone can help me out. Sorry for the rant but needed to vent.

What a terrible crisis, no TPMS.
Use a tire pressure gauge and get it fixed later.

As long as the tire is holding the proper amount of air and not going low, I would put a piece of tape over any light saying it's low, and keep on riding.,,
