Picked up two nails in rear tire on Sunday night in Phoenix AZ. Came out of mall and noticed flat tire. Tire was not ridden flat, only winched on and off of flatbed tow truck. Had bike towed home and on Monday put air in tire to ride to local dealer for tire replacement. After airing tire up the low air indicator light went off and then while riding to dealer it started flashing and then went solid. Pulled over and re inflated to 40#, light went off and then in three miles flashed and then went solid again as I reached the dealer. Arranged for new tire, went to lunch and then when came back for bike service manager shows me a pile of small parts and claims that the flat caused the tpms sensor to break. I think technician broke it when removing rear tire because if it was broken I think the left light would have been illuminated instead of just the low air indicator. Has anyone had similar experience. Dealer wants $240 for new sensor. Says Honda will not cover under warrant because resulted from damage, not a defect. Thanks

Was not ridden flat. Only rolled on and off of flatbed tow truck. Sensor functioned properly when I inflated the tire and as air pressure dropped the low air light flashed and then went solid. No indicator on left tpms light so know it was still working when I got it to the shop. Thanks for input

They tell me Honda says they will not cover the sensor unless it is defective, not from damage. Thanks

Do you know how your son disabled the system. I hate to have the idiot light/lights glowing or flashing. Thanks
