Hi there, are you not able to access the ‘Tire pressure’ reading in the ‘Info’ section on your screen or is it that your tire pressure readings are just two dotted lines? If you are just seeing dotted lines you may have to have the bike relearn the sensors which can only be done with the GS-911 scan tool or Motoscan app (motoscan app must have the ‘ultimate’ version downloaded). I recently changed my sensors and had to do this. Plus you will need a relearn tool to wake up the sensors while you are using the scan tool. You can buy this relearn tool off Amazon for around $20 (EL-50448) In total this will run you a few bucks so if you don’t plan on doing your own service work, best to take it into a BMW dealer.

On my 2016 RT the tire pressures are displayed by: press the “Menu” button until you get to the “Info” screen. Using the wonder wheel scroll until to see “Tire Pressure”. Hope this helps.

The pressure won't show until you start riding the bike
