New owner of a 2020 Rocket 3 R

[jmillington]

Hi, I'm a proud new owner of a 2020 Rocket 3 R that I purchased a couple of days ago, on Sept 6, 2022.
I'm an older rider that lives in Orangevale, CA (Sacramento area), and have been riding motorcycles all my life, starting with a little Honda 160, years ago.

I currently have several motorcycles, including a 2017 Tiger 800 XCx and a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE.

Here's a picture of the Rocket that I purchased, and below that is a picture of the rear wheel that shows the TPMS stem and the special tool which looks like it's used to remove the TPMS cap to check/fill the tire with air, I think.

My first questions is (I've searched and can't seem to find the answer), am I correct that this special tool is used to remove the TPMS cap?
In any case, how do I check/fill the tires with air?

Thanks in advance!
Jim M

Mine does not have a cap like that. I just fill like every other tire.

Thanks @Dr.D , I'm beginning to think it's an aftermarket TPMS that I'll need to research.

Congrats on the new to you Rocket. You’re going to love it.
Those are aftermarket tpms sensors, possibly this one that uses an app: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q21RNNB?tag=track-ect-usa-399528-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

Thanks @BILLWTX , yup, it's an aftermarket TPMS system - the FOBO Bike 2 which is a bluetooth system.

Thanks @TURBO200R4! It looks like I need permission to use the Fobos from the registered owner, and since this Rocket was traded in at a Harley Davidson dealership where I purchased it, I don't know who that person is. I'll probably just buy a new set of Fobos.

Thanks @MIG! Well you are young, I'm 68 but in very good health and still ride most weekends. I ride with 4 different groups and still love going on rides!
And I am sporting a grin - I started grinning when I took the Rocket for a test ride, and I'm sure I'll have an even bigger grin when I go for a ride this weekend.
