Thanks for the great video as always! P.S - The key ring is actually for easy carry of the wrench, in case you need it to open the sensor in order to pump your tire throughout your journey. Hope this helps!
New subscriber... cool gadgets, I need to get them for my 2023 Goldwing! Hey quick question... what are you using to capture your phone screen for video ? Beautiful bike !
I installed these a few weeks ago.....I didn't unmount the tires to install the metal valve stems, just used a 10" c clamp for the back and a 6" for he front, squeezed the tire enough, broke the bead to nstall the stem, there's youtube videos on how to do it...took bout 20 minutes each tire.....
@@dennisclair8513 yes, at about 85+ mph the front end started shaking, bought this stuff called 'rideon', it's a tire balancer, sealer you squirt inside the tire, I think TwoWheelObsession has mentioned it before. That stuff works good, smoothed it right out....
So you run 40 psi in your front tire on your FJR I noticed the factory recommends 36 PSI I noticed on my front with 36 psi tire wears much more on the sides
@@altec19 Dave Moss has done a few videos on this and they are worth watching. The long and short is that it really depends on you tires and your riding style and the weight on the bike. It requires bit of experimentation to figure out what works best for you but I run Michelin Road 6 GT's on my FJR1300. The recommended pressure in the manual is 36 psig but when riding at that pressure I used to find that the bike would want to "fall" into corners especially when riding two up at slower speed so I started experimenting with changes to the front tire pressure and I found on the FJR that with the front at 38-40 psig the bike simply feels a lot better (Rear I leave at 42 psig). I'm in my 60's and weigh around 240 lb with gear (I need to lose weight) and I'm guessing my wife is around 160-170 lb with gear so the bike is carrying with a 420-430 lb load. I don't ride fast (80 mph max on a highway, 50-60 mph on other open roads) and I've long since passed the point where I want to get a knee down on every corner so I just want the bike to steer well at slower speed. Also invest in a good tire pressure gauge. I use a Jaco Elite Pro (Digital). th-cam.com/video/XaIuWKfnGEI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DaveMossTuning th-cam.com/video/vHfv9FoPQnY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ProjectFarm
This question has nothing to do with the Fobo TPMS but I wanted to ask what size screw head and threads are on your ram ball that is mounted in the middle of your handle bars?
I have this product but was hesitant to put one on my front tire because it has an angled valve stem. I was concerned that it might create an imbalance condition. Has anyone run this successfully on their tire with an angled stem?

I’ve been using this for years and it’s never failed me. Very accurate too.

Can't say I know anyone that carries a wrench ;) It would just go under the seat with the rest of them.
Have used these for several yrs on 2 different bikes. No issues. Chg batteries every second yr.
Man I love technology. This is so cool

Thanks! Just the built in screen recorder

I didn't know you could do it that way, nice!
Did you have to rebalance your tires?

Yep I’ll never not use it, now
A word of caution for people with right angle valves, you may need to angle the front valve to clear the calliper, not by much but a bit.
You just point it forward or backward
So you run 40 psi in your front tire on your FJR I noticed the factory recommends 36 PSI
I noticed on my front with 36 psi tire wears much more on the sides
In the case of tire pressures, it varies by tire quite a bit. I have not run the factory tires since the first set.
The FJR handles much better with more pressure in the front tire at least in my experience.
@@Jagshemasher more pressure being how much ?
You need to experiment for yourself and see. 1lbs can be felt with good tires. There is no magic number for every combination.

Angled is fine as long as it’s metal
