The TPMS sensors for 2017 and older wings haven't been available for a few years. Today I saw my dealer and they had a Honda Service Bulletin for an upcoming replacement kit for the TPMS sensors. The dealer wouldn't give me a copy of the Bulletin. Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Honda Service Bulletin for the TPMS replacement?

Your actual options are:
A.) Replace or have someone replace, the batteries in your Tire Sensors. There are a few YouTube videos on how to do this.
B.) "Adjust" the wiring to the TPMS Control Module to turn off the Idiot Light (see attached). Then buy an aftermarket Tire Pressure Sensing system like FoBo or similar. The attached is a diagram for how to do this wiring "repair" that makes it easily reversable.

I've seen many of those sensors damaged and/or destroyed by owners trying to replace the batteries themselves. I do about 100 sets (or more) of them a year, just finished another set yesterday. Let me know if I can help.

Wish I had a way to remove the tires without taking them to my dealer. My 2012 needs both wheels done. I would gladly send them to you, BUT. I worked in electronics most of my life, so I could probably do them myself, but then again I would need the tires removed.

Says it will, has a warranty, available Amazon so free returns, just would need to register/program it to the bike like any replacement tpms. Decent price.

Personally I bookmarked the site for future reference, I would get it.

The angled stem assists with filling the tire, not required. I have a vt-15 tpms tool so can reprogram the bike. However just recently redid the 18+ tpms just by using the shorting plug and rapid bleeding of the air pressure to wake the sensor up and perform the reprogramming. Would have to play with a 12-17 to see if can do the same way.

My real concern is if it will work on the Gen 5 bike. The description says 2015, but the 2010 -2017 use the same sensor.
I looked at some of their sensors and they are listed for cars.
They also show a different separate part numbers for 2012-2017.
Will have to wait and see if anyone actually tries one.
As far as the return if it doesn't work,it states new, unused condition.
