TPM-50 SENSOR for 15° OFFSET VALVE-STEMS:
TPM-50 version sensors replace the existing tire valves of your motorcycle. 15 ° offset is usually found on
Harley stock alloy wheels, please make sure this offset is correct for your application.
Replacing the existing valve-stem with Wheel Sensor requires the tire bead to be
separated and the sidewalls to be clamped so that there is access to the inside of the
wheel.
DO NOT use side-stand. Use the center-stand and secure the bike.
n Deflate the tire and separate
the tire-bead on the side of the
bike that you plan to mount the
Transceiver.
o Squeeze the sidewall using 'C'
clamps about 3" (7.5cm) on each
side of the tire valve.
p
Remove the existing tire valve
and clean the hole prior to
inserting the TPM-50 sensor.
q Insert TPM-50 sensor so that the fill-port is on the opposite side of where the
Transceiver will be. Install the sealing ‘O’ ring and then hand tighten the nut. Do not
remove the black plastic bushing.
r Torque the nut 4 - 6 ft-lbs (5.5 - 8.0 Nxmeter) - just enough to prevent the Sensor
from twisting in the tire valve hole.
s
Remove "C" clamps, lubricate the tire bead and inflate the tire.
Check for any air leaks - use soapy water and look for air bubbles.
Generally, a tire shop or
your motorcycle dealer is
better equipped to handle
this procedure.
If you plan to install this,
you will need (2) large “C”
clamps and an air
compressor.
Depending on the type of
tire valve being replaced,
TPM-50 sensor will add
about ½ oz (20 grams). It is
recommended to have the
tires re-balanced.
Alternatively, you can use
the ½ oz wheel weights
supplied for counter
balance.
