CAREUD TPMS System
#2
I ran a Fobo TPMS system on my 2011 RGU for 3 years until I traded the bike in. It worked great. Changed the batteries 1 time.

I had to search on what you are referring and turns out mine looks to be the same; several vendors of this same product. I have used mine for several months, the screen holds a charge for months and had no issues with the sensors. Setup is a bit of a pain but once you figure out the logic flow of setup, works well. Seems very accurate and I use and monitor with every ride.

tpms is good for the people who like everything done for them. i am not saying they are not handy but look how they come about, big brother in action. i am 68 and started riding at 12 and never needed such as i always check my stuff, not lazy just proactive. geez, check your oil, then tires ain't that hard. three years is extremely short battery life, avg is around 10 on auto. they are only on when in motion, got 75k and 8 years on the nissan. one more thing, get you a tpms programmer, i have a bartec.

Disagree. Tpms is not for lazy people. Its for those who like to know if a tire STARTS to lose air while riding. Not everything is a blowout or easily noticed especially if riding straight...now corner on a low tire and see the fun. Do what works for you but many less set in our ways enjoy new tech that enhances safety.

well, tpms does nada for a blow out. in 56 years, never had an issue with tire and not know how to handle the situation.
tpms is a mandate from big brother because people are stupid, point: i drove 18 wheelers for awhile and i cannot tell you how many people drive with dash warning lights on, tpms is the same class, forest gump said it all, "stupid is what stupid does".
i will throw this out: you answer, why did a 1.5 hp lawn mower cut anything in its path in the 60's but now requires 6 hp+????? once again, forest gump and big brother.
i am not knocking tpms and the tech is helpful, however, does not replace common sense. another point is that tech fails and if you are not smart enough to catch it, then you get what is coming to you. i have tpms vehicles and so far, never a warning, they get checked regularly, my mc's even more so.
btw: you can get schrader programmable tpms and with a tpms tool, clone your sensors and it seems they will out last the ones mentioned.

Alright boys and girls, I am interested because the rear tire on my bike is a ROYAL PITA to check air pressure. Hidden behind bags makes for a chore to check pressure. Yes, at 60 I can afford a gaget to make my life easier, I am being lazy, so be it. Not a government conspiracy, just lazy.
That being said...just wondering if this system works. No different than if I was asking about the oil dipstick that displays oil temp.
Thanks everyone for your experience with these systems.

Taking regular readings I was surprised how much tire pressure varies with temperature, and how much tire temperature & pressure varies during a ride.
yes...I’m happy with them.
