So the PMS is only temporary and after some time it will go away.. Should I use a napkin or tampon if the problem occurs?

Splatt, I do not know what system Harley uses (OEM) Most systems utilize an add on sensor to the tire valves or the sensors are built in to the tire valve. Debris can be picked up in the tire valve and debris can be blown out by adding air to the tire and then setting tire pressure.

Max, the TPMS you may be referencing is actually "Temporary **** and Moan Syndrome" I wanted to clarify. It invades my house on a regular basis with wife and 4 daughters on board.

Fear, I'm a veteran and I ride a motorcycle...... there isn't much that scares me anymore. Well, fluid transfer from my transmission to my primary, that scares me.
