 SmarTire Sensor Kit |
 Internal wheel sensor |
 Display unit. Note on two wires for +/- 12 volts are needed |
 Here is the sensor mounted to the front rim, oposite the valve stem |
 Here is the metal bridge for the valve stem |
 When breaking the bead, you have to be careful not to put the bead breaker where the sensor is installed |
 When mounting a new tire, the pinch point should be at or near the sensor |
 Lifting the edge of the bead over the sensor |

 When using tire tools, don't insert a tool in the spot where the sensor is mounted |
 Display unit installed in front panel |
 I had to cut a hole in the panel to install it here |
 On my first ride with the SmarTire I found my front tire was loosing air and the warning light came on! |
 Upon inspection, I found a cracked valve stem |
 When I checked my rear valve stem I found it was in need of replacement too |
 SmarTire front sensor has a gap due to the concave drop center of the rim |
 I cut a shim out of a 1/4 inch hard piece of rubber |
 I then slid the shim under the sensor |
 Shim in place |

 Here is the new style sensor from SmarTire that is made to better fit concave rims |
 I zip tied my stem to the holder so it won't flex and crack |
