After a couple of tire deflations on trips I started getting paronoid about tire
pressure and decided to give the Smartire system a try. The sensors are held by
a strap on the rim and transmit tire temp, pressure, and difference from cold pressure, to a waterproof, backlit display unit. In there ad they use a FJR and show
the display mounted above the speedo, IMHO not smart. You need to press the button to have the display toggle the info and reaching up there to me was not as
safe as what is shown in my pics here: https://www.rpmrecording.com/pictures.htm
I had It installed when I was due for a tire change, the mechanic had never put
one in but said the instructions were very good and its a one hour job. So far the
system works excellent, If you are going past 6 mph you get current readings,
if your stopped youll see the last one recieved, one button push will give you all the info for both tires. some readings ive seen are cold temp of 90 at 41 p.s.i.
after twisties 134 degrees at 47 p.s.i. ( Rear new Avon) price was 195.00
