Tire Pressure Sensor System

[Calgary]

I'm curious about having an after market TPS system installed! Who has them, what make did they install and how satisfied they are with it? Can they be used with ceramic balancing beads or with the balancing/nail puncture fluid?

I have the "TireGuard" TPMS marketed by Big Bike Parts and others (I think MotorTrike is also a distributer). Mine has been is use for about 1 1/2 years and has performed well.

Several years ago, my friend and I had the 2 wheel version and both of us had issues. Apparently the bugs have since been worked out and my current (trike) version performs w/o problems. I have beads in all my tires. Don't know about the liquid "goop", but I don't think it would be an issue. Other folks may know for sure.

I am very happy with mine. ThumbUp

The absolute best balancing/puncture product is RideOn.
You question has multiple answers! One must make sure the sensors are "coated" in order to use this product! At this time Honda does not coat the TPMS sensors and this product is not recommended to be used with that TPMS system.
At last word, RideOn is working on a formula that is compatible w/the Honda TPMS.
Just had a new front tire installed.
Conversation went like this:
Installer: "You have WHAT in you tire??? The last time I changed a tire that had that sealant crap in it, I spent 2 hours cleaning up the tire changer. Then had to glass bead the rim to get the stuff off it"(Turns out that was Slime, not RideOn.)
Me: I have used this product for years. If installed per instructions, it stays in the tire. There will be none on the rim and there will be none running all over your changer.
When he completed the change, he kept the bottle so he could contact RideOn to start handling the product!!!!!
