35 miles?  Yesterday I rode over 300 and it never went away.   ;D

My return trip was a shade under 200....it stayed on most of that time..so it's not a cold issue anymore.

My front warning came on in warm (75F) weather yesterday but it went out in less than 2 miles. I believe it has a lot to do with how long it sits idle. This ride was the first time my C14 has been parked for more than 5 days.  94,000 miles 5 yrs , 4 mo. old.

The guys on the GTR-AUS Forum have a method with photos posted on how to change the battery in the TPMS while maintaining power to the sensor so as not to have to reprogram the thing.

Shows how to wire it up and has the replacement battery details, scroll down as it is near the bottom of the page.

I have not had battery problems with my 2011 as yet.

My understanding is that 'we' determined that it was not necessary to maintain power to the sensor while replacing the battery?

Not that it really matters but it's not the sensor that gets the programming, it's the bike.

+1.  The sensor retains it's embedded 'data' even when the battery has given up.  All that's needed is to just replace it and 'Bob's your uncle', it magically comes back to life.  However, if there is information to the contrary we would love to hear about it.
