Sensors have arrived, been put in, and are working. They had been ordered from https://www.cdfgroup.de/onlineshop/en/residence/453-schrader-3141m-bmw-motorcycle-5054208007526.html on August thirtieth and arrived September ninth, through DHL expedited transport. I paid further on the transport as a result of me previous expertise with common DHL from abroad has been rife with delays.

Complete $$ all in for two sensors, two valve kits, and one sensor retaining bolt got here to USD $202 at time of order. Product was well-packaged and DHL had door-to-door monitoring.

Set up was simple. I used a dab of Loctite on the stem I put in, and the brand new, shorter retaining bolt for the valve-in-spoke entrance wheel got here with threadlocker pre-applied. Each had been torqued to the advisable 6nm with a 1/4” torque wrench and clearance on each was checked and located to be in spec at that torque.

The sensors include codes printed on the field in each hex and base 10 (dez) which makes pairing them to the bike straightforward utilizing GS-911 or MotoScan. Some say the bike will robotically acknowledge the sensors, one by one, with a longish trip over 30mph however I didn’t check that. I did set up them one by one, coming into the code and taking a really quick check trip after every. Every time, the sensor was energetic inside a pair blocks of residence. No activation or programming instrument was wanted, simply the GS-911 to enter the brand new codes.

My 13yr-old OEM sensors had been made by Schrader, as had been the brand new ones. New BMW sensors alone are $224 every via BMW, plus the valve package(s) and retaining bolt, which have to be changed because the OEM one is just too lengthy for the brand new sensor. I said earlier that the final time I purchased a TPMS sensor from my supplier it was round $100, and I used to be OK with that as an ordinary in-stock merchandise. Completely happy to pay it for the comfort and availability. I’ve issue understanding how $224 is justified when the abroad vendor can promote a sensor for somewhat over $50 USD, at a revenue. IMHO both some contemporary new MBA screwed up when negotiating the contract with the TPMS provider BMW switched to after they left Schrader, or we’re actually being abused on these needed (security merchandise) elements.

Anyway, the sensors can be found, they work on bikes as much as someplace round 2019-2020, and the seller appears good to work with.
