Garmin Tyre Pressure Wireless Monitor (010-11997-00)

I got these because I have a Garmin GPS & they are supposed to be an easy pair, which they were, however, I've had them for a few months now and am on my 10th set of batteries, they are rubbish, do yourselves a favour, unless you have more money than sense, buy a completely aftermarket set & not these.

I have found the Garmin tyre pressure gauge to be of great benefit to check the tyre pressure at a glance for both the front and back tyres. It is extremely handy especially before starting the days riding. Garmin make it quite clear in the introduction for this product that it does not replace the riders responsibility to periodically manually check the tire pressure. My Garmin GPS with this added feature (app) has impressed a number of my riding buddy's.

Easy to keep an eye on your tyres during long days on the bike. A bar graph can be checked to see how the pressures have gone through the ride.

I had to change the valve stems to accommodate the monitors. Once this was done, I have found monitors to be excellent. I now feel I have peace of mind, as my rear tyre is very difficult to see.

Accurate tyre pressure readings without having to carry around other tyre guages. I might be able to use garage pumps now instead of always pumping the tyres by hand

paired up to a zumo 390, seamless connection, accurate data and its good to be able to see trends in pressure so you can adjust the pressures you are running to avoid excessive heat which leads to wear.

Lacks temperature compensation, should be calibrated to 20degC as with BMW unit, so reading is largely irrelavent from cold to hot tyres. Constantly looses comms and thus blocks GPS screen with fault message which is difficult to acknowledge with gloves on. Find myself having to disable TPM so I can use GPS without annoiance. If I knew then what I know now, I would NOT buy the TPM. TPM requires a serious up-spec.

Easy to use & accurate. Set up to my Zumo was very quick. Being connected to the Zumo, means one less device I need to find room for on the bike, to read the sensors. It uses a bit of an odd battery - at least out here in the country. Nobody stocks them. Easy enough to get sent to me though.

This product was nicely packed with good directions and when fitted worked first off.

Garmin Tyre Pressure Monitor is everything that Garmin claims, ideal if your touring it makes it easy to keep an eye on tyre pressures. Here is the BUT I have a Husqvarna Nuda 900R, as soon as I got the TPS in the mail I had them on the Nuda and setup in less than 20 minutes. Find the right tyre pressure according the Nuda manual and the Perilli website took 10minutes. Less than 3 Kms down the road and the front TPS go whizzing passed me, on close inspection, I found that the tire stem had broken leaving the value sitting in the very bottom of the Tyre stem exposed. After ordering a replacement and having the front tire valve stem replaced the same thing happened. On reading the manual you MUST have steel tyre valve stems. Many street fighter, sports bikes have alloy valve stems these tend to break the TPS is just to heavy.
