Yup.. Cooked brakes and catalytic converters are the favorites to get my attention.. But I also know that if these issues are mine and mechanical, there will usually be other tell-tale signs to go along with any smell.. Sound and vibration for example..

When I hit a weird piece of road though.. I do - at least momentarily - worry for my tires :lol: ... I just put a TPM system on my new scoot so I won't have to worry about that... Now, when I hit weird road, I can check for sudden pressure drops without worrying that I need to pull over.

I have just ordered a TPM for my bikes, I ordered the car model because it comes with four sensors, that way if I lose or damage one I can use one of the others.. Also I should be able to fit two bikes for the price of one..

The cost over here is about $110.

I might mount the monitor on the tank with double sided tape or Velcro and a string to secure it in case it vibrates off while I am riding.

Great Idea! .. Plus, Velcro make a really aggressive hook and loop these days, so should hold.. Could look into a modified handlebar cell-phone mount or something... Perhaps even use some Spiderwire or etc., as a security tether..

Seems like every time I take my bike out for a few hours I hit weird road - especially after all this freezing and thawing - good roads turn into bad roads etc.. So recently, I have been glad to have my TPM about 2-3 times a trip.

They help serve a couple of purposes.. I think you'll find yourself liking that info when you need it..

Which TPM units do you use/recommend? Internal? External?

Mine are just the caps you screw on.. A TireGard System.. Mine is the Handlebar Mount system, but they are cheaper if you get the fob monitor and MacGyver it onto your bars..

If you have more than one bike, I think John is onto the right idea though..

If you have an outlet on your bars, that would work pretty good!

Sorry for the Hijack Folks.. :roll: ..
