TPMS query

Hi,
Quick question... is it possible to change the tyre pressure display units from bar to psi?
I've had a look at the rider's manual, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks

Yes you can but only with the aid of a decent diagnostic set up.
BMW Motorrad can set it up for you or if you have one of the GS-911 Diagnostic tools then you can use this to change the display. I know it definately works as I've recently used mine to change to PSI.
If your on or near the South Coast (I'm in worthing) then your welcome to drop by and I'll plug my GS-911 in and sort it out for you or if you are interested in buying the kit then you can order them here

I highly recomend these as whilst a bit expensive initially they can save you a fortune on trips to the main dealer.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll get the dealer to sort it next time I head to Cardiff. Thanks for the offer Reaper 999, but Worthing is a little too far from Carmarthenshire for a quick trip...
Might have to look at investing in a GS-911 when I've saved up the pennies!

Thats good to know, I thought bikes out of Europe were in llbs, but I asked my dealer about this on my 2014 and they said no. So they were obviously telling porkies

Mines a 2007 Casbar so I can't be 100% about the watercooled bikes as I've never tried but it can definately be done on the Aircooled.

Simon, Yours is a twin cam like mine. Yes, you can change it with a GS-911. I have done so myself on mine! If you fancy a ride to darkest Powys, about 10 miles north of Newtown, I would be happy to do it for you,
John

Did a search on another forum and apparently it is possible on the LC, but some dealers will and some won't that is over the water though, so not sure about Europe spec bikes. I am ok with bar, so won't bother 8)

When my 2016 RT LC was delivered it was defaulted to bars. When it got the run-in service at 600mi, the dealer flipped it over to psi. So yes, definitely possible, and the dealer should be able to help you.

My Aussie 2014 liquid cooled is in PSI.
The did tell me a few options need to be changed by the workshop, but I don't think they explained the TPM readout.

It is explained in the owner's manual. If you do not have one, they are available on line (PM me if you can't find it and I will email it to you. The detailed discussion is on about page 112 (not all manuals paginated the same).
