Q:
I have an offset valve-stem on the front wheel but the rear wheel, which is much wider, has a straight-up valve-
stem. Which TPM kit should I buy?
A:
All TPM systems are listed for matching pairs of the Wheel Sensors. However, different types of Wheel Sensors
can be combined to suit your application. Please select appropriate Option for online ordering, or ask our sales
associates for the proper combination.
Many Harley models, the combination is: TPM-50 for Front wheel & TPM-20 for Rear Wheel
Newer BMW models, the combination is: TPM-40 for Front Wheel & TPM-20 for Rear Wheel
Many Kawasaki Cruisers, the combination is: TPM-50 for Front wheel & TPM-30 for Rear Wheel
Q:
The pressure display on my bike climbs up by 5 to 6 Psi at highway speeds. It returns to normal at lower speeds. I
have recalibrated the system but that hasn’t helped. What’s wrong?
A:
This is typically due to air-gap setting. If the air-gap between the antennae of the Transceiver and Wheel Sensor is
set too close, the echo-back at higher speeds will be distorted. Depending on the type of wheel, the recommended air-
gap is ¼” (6mm) to ½” (12mm). We generally describe the air-gap to be set at the lower range. However, setting it
closer than that DOES NOT IMPROVE accuracy of the system. As long as the LED of the Transceiver flashes when
the Wheel Sensor is lined-up, you are within the acceptable range.
Q:
I have wire spoke wheels on my bike. The front wheel is quite narrow but the rear wheel is much wider. How can I
purchase a TPM kit with a standard and an elongated wheel sensor?
A:
As explained previously, Wheel Sensor combination is available.
Cruisers and some BMW models, the combination is: TPM-20 for Front wheel & TPM-60 for Rear Wheel
Q:
I have TPM-30 on my GL1800. The front tire seems to show a steady display while the rear shows an increase of
up to 12 Psi after a few miles of riding. Is this normal?
A:
The tire pressure display for both wheels is scaled-back to cold tire pressure used for initial calibration. However, for
the Goldwing and other heavy touring models, the rear tire has much higher loads and does warm-up a lot more. Thus
causing the tire pressure to rise rapidly. New software version has allowance for this condition, so that the rear display
does not default to showing non-compensated pressure for the rear wheel. If you have older version, we ca reprogram
the system with new code.
