h. Start the top tire bead ahead of the sensor in a clockwise position (e.g., sensor at the 12
o'clock position and the start of the tire bead at the 9 o'clock position) so when you have
finished mounting the tire you will not be in the area of the sensor which could damage it
if it gets caught up in the tire mounting tool.

i. Fill the tire with the proper baseline air pressure and then have your tire properly balanced and
re-installed on the motorcycle.
j. Repeat steps a. through i. for tire # 2.
After completion of the above steps for each sensor, you will be able to monitor your tire pressure.
If the baseline pressure needs to be adjusted from the pre-programmed 35-psi setting see
page
12
of this manual for the proper method of adjustment.
A. Remove wheel assembly from motorcycle and deflate the air
from the wheel.
B. Start with the valve stem at 12 o'clock and the tool to
remove the top bead of the tire at 3 o'clock.
C. Start to remove the top bead, but you must stop the tool
before it reaches the 12 o'clock position. The tool could break
the sensor if it comes in contact with it. The top bead should
now be free of the wheel.
D. Physically take the bottom bead of the tire and move it to the
topside of the sensor. This will allow the bead to be removed
without binding on the sensor
(see Figure 3-2)

Insert the tire tool at the 3 o'clock position to remove the bottom bead of the tire. Care should be
taken to insure that the bead is free of the sensor during removal.
