Excellent x2


You've lost a bit from the front?

It would be interesting to see what the pressure & temperature does from standstill to 60 mph. How much does it change in the real world? Does it actually matter? Or are we all just being anal about it?

Absolutely i think we are all being anal about it, in my opinion .......

I only want it for one reason: so when I do a preflight check, I easily see a front/rear partial deflation and possibly prevent an upcoming spill. No other reason....

That is all I want also. If I had a permanent display I would be watching it too much and not looking where I am going. I also want to cover up my mpg meter on my Honda Forza. Most of the time I do not even turn on my GPS. Too much distractions. If I had more money I would cover up my speedometer.

Hi All,
I have an update. I've successfully installed the FOBO Bike TPMS sensors on my Forza 300. Recall I posted a photo of the rear tire sensor coming very close to the transmission housing. FOBO states they want 1/2 inch clearance with rubber valve stems and 1/4 inch clearance with metal valve stems. I contacted FOBO and explained the sensors won't work on the Forza because of the clearance problem. They were fantastic to work with and suggested using their T-valves ($12 each). My Honda motorsports dealer installed the T-valves and rebalanced my tires. The T-valves are of excellent quality and solved my clearance problem. I mounted the FOBO sensors on the right-angle valve facing the right side (exhaust side) of the bike. They position the sensors away from obstructions and provide the proper clearance. I like having metal valves, and the T-valves allow me add/remove air from my tires without removing the sensors. I have them locked in place with the supplied locking nuts. Below is a photo. I checked the pressure accuracy with a high-quality tire pressure gauge, and the FOBO sensors are right on. I now enjoy seeing the tire pressure displayed on my iPhone before going for a ride. I also have handlebar mount for my iPhone, so I can see the tire pressure during my ride. I've searched for a TPMS and believe I've found the very best option with the FOBO Bike sensors. I highly recommend using them with the T-valves on the Forza 300.

Looks good, I really like you can add air without taking off the sensor. I've had to add air once to mine. We recently had a freak cold snap down here that sent the temperature down 10° or so, what I really like is not only did the app register the drop, But sent me an email saying my front tire was lower than the minimum threshold that I had set.

I do check my tire pressure twice a month with a 4$ tire pressure gauge. Pre-ride, usually just visual and feel check, which also gives me chances to see problems on tires, brakes, and what-not. This is cool actually, but I am still on the fence on putting another tech gadget on my scoot that will distract me from enjoying the ride. That's just me...

Ridiculous... my tire is out of balance but I know it isn't flat. Won't matter much on the scoot but never on a sport bike.

Anyone have a link to these valves?

I’ve never gotten two years out of it . I change my batteries about nine months and not worry about it. I had one go out at one year so that’s why I started changing them at nine months.

My batteries never seem to last but that is probably because my tires go over temp or pressure too easily on my defective Honda Forza maxi-scooter.

Putting the brakes right next to the catalytic converter was an asinine decision.
