Tire Pressure Monitoring System From RRR Tool Solutions Published in: Gear Gone are the days of manually checking your tire pressures—or forgetting to. Before every ride I tell myself to check, then I pull out of the garage only to remember that I forgot. Wondering if your tires are at the correct pressures or temperatures, whether on- or off-road, can be a big distraction. With the TPMS by RRR Tool Solutions, you’ll have a real-time readout right on your dash. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), built specifically for motorcycles with tubeless wheels, is everything you could want and a little extra. Sensor/valve stems are mounted from inside any tubeless wheel’s rim that accommodates a standard valve stem. I’d recommend this upgrade during tire changes because removal of the tire is required to fit the new sensor/valve stem. Installing the surprisingly well made and very waterproof display unit is as easy (or as difficult) as finding a wire controlled by the ignition switch. The kit includes a spade connector that simply wraps around an ignition-controlled wire and the display unit’s positive wire and, with a firm squeeze, makes a piercing connection into both. The ground wire is then attached under any bolt on the frame that isn’t critical (not a frame-to-engine or suspension bolt) or run all the way back to the battery if you're so inclined. If you think having a TPMS that will alert you to “low pressure” is nice, this will blow your hair back. The unit provides real-time readouts of individual tire pressures (+/-1 psi), with a programmable low pressure alert which turns the display from blue to red. Front and rear tire temperature readouts are also provided, along with a high temp alert. Real-time readouts of tire temperatures and pressure variations from the start of the day to mid-ride will prove valuable, too. Last but not least, a battery voltage display and low voltage alert are the icing on the cake.
