You are operating your motorcyclein a dangerous condition. Stop andmake repairs.You are operating your motorcyclein a dangerous condition. Stop andmake repairs.SmarTire actively monitors and displays tirepressure, pressure deviation and tire temperature.The system will warn you if your tire pressures aretoo low or tire temperatures are too high in orderto reduce accident risk, maximize performance,increase tire life and improve fuel efficiency.Getting StartedWhen your motorcycle is started, SmarTire willpower up, briefly flash the tire icons and displaydashes indicating that it is waiting for tire data.When the motorcycle is ridden over 6 mph (10kph), SmarTire will begin to receive tire data. Whenall tire data has been successfully received and thesystem is operating normally, the front and reartireiconswillremaindisplayedUSING THE SMARTIRE USING THE SMARTIRE - continued.USING THE SMARTIRE - continued.USING THE SMARTIRE - continued.Press the button and SmarTire automaticallydisplays inflation pressure, pressure deviation andtemperature for both tires. To quickly togglethrough the tire data, press the button repeatedly.Alert ModesThe alert icon will activate whenever tire pressuredrops below or tire temperature exceeds the factorypreset limits. When the tire condition has beencorrected, the alert icon will turn off. In all cases, atire icon will indicate which tire is affected. SmarTirehas three alert modes:The Pressure / Temperature RelationshipWhen a motorcycle is ridden, the tires heat up andthe actual pressure inside the tire increases. Whendisplaying pressure, SmarTire displays actualpressure values without compensating for pressurechanges caused by temperature variations.SmarTire also displays Pressure Deviation, which isthe difference between the calculated pressure thatshould be in the tire at the current tire temperatureand the actual measured tire pressure. For example,a Pressure Deviation value of -3 indicates that youshould increase that tire's pressure by 3 psi. ThePressure Deviation is accurate regardless of thetemperature of the tire.For a more technical description of temperaturecompensation, please visit our website atwww.smartire.com.The Pressure Deviation Alert is set to trigger ifthe pressure in either your front or rear tire is15% below or above the temperaturecompensated cold or recommended inflationpressure (see Pressure / Temperature Relation-ship). The alert icon will flash and the pressuredeviation is displayed.•The Low Pressure Alert is set to trigger if thepressure in either tire falls below 25% of thecold inflation pressure. The alert icon willactivate and the tire pressure is displayed. Note:The warning icon and pressure deviation willremain illuminated until air is added to the flattire.•The High Temperature Alert is set to trigger ifthe temperature in either tire exceeds 176°F(80°C). The alert icon will flash and the tiretemperature is displayed.•SmarTire starts to receive tire dataonly when your motorcycle reaches 6mph (10 kph). If you want to accesstire data while stopped, for examplewhen filling tires at a service station,do not turn off your motorcycle.USING THE SMARTIRE
INSTALLING THE SENSORSIn this section, you will learn how to mount asensor on a rim. Please read this section carefullyadfollohlhatyoudonoWrap the straparound therim and mark1" past theworm gearfor cutting.You may want to temporarily adjust tire pressuresto safely carry a passenger or additional loads.This should always be done as per the motorcycleowner's manual. If the motorcycle tire pressuresettings are changed, SmarTire must learn the newvalues. To update the cold inflation pressure:USING THE SMARTIRE - continued.Adjust the pressures in both the front and reartires to the desired values when the tires arecold.1.Turn on the motorcycle and immediately pressand hold the button until the letters 'CP' aredisplayed.2.Ride the motorcycle above 6 mph (10 kph). Thenew settings will be automatically saved and theunit will exit the 'Pressure Adjust' mode.3.INSTALLING THE DISPLAY- continued.Wire the display/receiver to the motorcycleconnecting the positive wire (red) to thepower supply through an ignition keyedcircuit and the negative wire (black) toground. For some motorcycles, it is easiest toconnect to an ignition keyed circuit throughthe fuse box.4.Using the included double sided tape, adherethe display to the motorcycle.3.INSTALLING THE DISPLAYIn this section, you will learn how to mount andwire the SmarTire display/receiver.The mounting location must beperfectly clean to ensure a rigidbond between the display and themotorcycle.Find a suitable location to mount the display(use either top or bottom surface as needed).Ideally, the location should be:• a sheltered area within the operator's•normal field of vision, and• an area that is not normally removed•during routine servicing and maintenance.1.Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.2.TOOLS REQUIREDTo successfully install your SmarTire system, youwill need:5/16(8)DiMCiiTlx1x2x2Tire Pressure Gauge Cleaning ProductINSTALLING THE SMARTIRE
INSTALLING THE SENSORS- continued.4. Install the strap mounted sensor onthe rim in the lowest point of thedrop center well.If the width of the wheel requiresthe strap to pass over the valve,elevate the strap using thesupplied valve bridge.If there is no valve recession in the drop centerwell, the bottom of the valve bridge may block arubber valve. In this case, replace the rubbervalve with a metal valve. If a metal valve is usedand its head is recessed fully below the surfaceof the rim, the valve bridge is not required.DropCenter WellStrapValveBridgeValveINSTALLING THE SENSORS- continued.• the sensor is located directly opposite thevalve stem, and• the worm gear is 1" away from the sensor.Orient the components on the rim so that:5.SensorWorm GearStrapValveValve BridgeMOUNTING THE TIREPlease read this section carefullyand follow each step precisely toensure that you do not damage asensor.In this section, you will learn how to mount the tirewithout damaging the sensor.Place the rim on theturntable of a tire-mounting machine sothat the mount head isat 12 o'clock with thesensor at 7 o'clock.INSTALLING THE SENSORS- continued.Hantightenthewormgearuntilthemountedsenn.6.Apply the supplied rim label on the outside of therim flange to indicate the location of the sensor.MOUNTING THE TIRE - continued.Starting from the mount head, manually depressthe lower bead of the lubricated tire over the rimflange and into the drop center well until itspinch point is approximately 3" (7.5 cm) beforethe sensor.2.Note: The pinch point (also known as thetraction point) is the position on the rim wherethe tire bead encounters resistance when tryingto slip over the rim flange.MOUNTING THE TIRE - continued.lowthe pinchorthe sensormaybebroken.5.Finishinstallationasnormal.(Seatthe beads,install the valve core, inflate to therecommended cold inflation pressure, balancetires and mount wheels on the motorcycle).Advance the turntableusingthemountheadtoguide the rest of thebottom bead over theflange and onto therim. When doneproperly, the beadwill slip over theflange withoutcontacting the sensor.
Compare the pressure values that are displayedfor the front and rear tires to the pressures thetires were inflated to. When programmedcorrectly, the display will show the samepressure values that the tires were inflated to.3.The SmarTire System is extremelyaccurate at measuring tire pressure.If the pressure values displayed areslightly different than the manualgauge, it is usually because theSmarTire is more accurate.TESTING THE SYSTEM - continued.PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER- continued.Finally, press the button on the display to savethe settings. Your SmarTire will now beprogrammed and ready for use.4.Now, spin the front tire approximately 6 mph (10kph) to provoke a data transmission from thesensor. The captured data will then be set as thefront tire value.If the transmission was successful, the displaywill toggle between the front and rear tirepressures.3.TESTING THE SYSTEMAccelerate the motorcycle forward to a speed ofat least 6 mph (10 kph) to activate the sensors,causing them to transmit tire pressure andtemperature data. When transmissions arereceived from the sensors, the display will showthe inflation pressure for each tire and then goblank, showing only the front and rear tire icons.2.Starting with the motorcycle off, power up theSmarTire by turning on the motorcycle. Whenfirst powered on, SmarTire will displayalternating front and rear tire icons with dashesfor pressure readings as it searches for datafrom the two wheels.1.In this section, you will learn the best method oftesting a newly installed SmarTire to ensure that itis programmed properly and operating normally.Though highly unlikely, it is possible that yourSmarTire captured data from a near-by sensorother than the one intended during programming.To test the system:PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER- continued.Upon enteringrammingmode,thedisplay will showtheonIf the display does not showthe rear tire icon butpowers on normally, theunit has already beenprogrammed. To re-enter the initialprogramming mode,first, turn off themotorcycle. Then,turn the motorcycleback on to its accessoryposition whilesimultaneously holdingdown the button on thedisplay until it shows the reartire icon (approx.. 2 seconds). Theunit will then be in programming mode ready forreprogramming.To toggle between programming the front and reartire first, press the button on the display.PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER- continued.2. Make sure the wheels have not been disturbedfor at least 60 seconds. With the motorcycle onits center stand or a bike jack, spin the rear tireapproximately 6 mph (10 kph) to provoke a datatransmission from the sensor. The data alongwith a sensor ID number will be captured by thedisplay/receiver and set as the rear tire value.Once the receiver has successfully captured thedata transmission, thedisplay will briefly showthe pressure of therear tire. Then, thedisplay will switchto showing thefront tire icon;ready to receivedata for the fronttire.In this section, you will learn how to calibrate theDisplay/Receiver to the sensors installed in thetiresofthemo.Turn the bike on to its accessory position andSmarTire will check to see if it has beenprogrammed. On a new installation, the display/receiver will automatically enter its initialprogramming mode when powered on, ready toreceive the sensor ID and tire pressure for theREAR tire.1.PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVERMake sure that both tires are set totheir correct cold inflation pre-ssures in advance of programmingthe display.
TROUBLE SHOOTING- continued.ACTION:Turn the motorcycle off and then back on to itsaccessory position to reset the SmarTire. If theproblem clears itself, check for an excessivevoltage drop during engine startup. If the problemreoccurs, the display will need to be replaced.AAfter about 20 minutes of riding, the displayshows an 'E1' System Alert and hasn't receiveda transmission from one of the sensors.CAUSE:A sensor has stopped transmitting.ACTION:If tire replacement or repair has preceded theappearance of the error, check to confirm thatthe sensor was reinstalled and not damaged. Ifno tire related work was recently done, thesensor may need to be replaced. If the sensorwas recently replaced, the display will need tobe programmed to the new sensor (seeInstallation Step 4: Programming the Receiveron page 24).5.REMOVING A TIRE WHEN A SENSOR HASBEEN INSTALLED ON A RIMFollow these instructionscarefully to ensure you do notdamage the sensors.In this section, you will learn how to remove a tirefrom a motorcycle rim that has a SmarTire sensorinstalled on it.Make sure you know the location of the sensorbefore unseating the beads of the tire. The rimmounted decal should indicate the approximatelocation of sensor.If there is no rim mounted decal, the sensor shouldbe mounted directly opposite the valve stem.CAUTION:TROUBLE SHOOTINGDisplay does not power up when the motorcycleis turned on.CAUSE:The display is not receiving power, or properpolarity from the power source.ACTION:Confirm that power cable is connected to thecorrect polarity sources and electrical power isactually present at the connector when the keyis turned to the 'on' / 'accessory' position.Inspect the power supply cable for any cuts thatmay effect continuity.1.Display powers up but no transmissions arereceived from the sensors.CAUSE:The display/receiver captured data from sensorsother than those installed on the motorcycle.2.TROUBLE SHOOTING- continued.ACTION:Re-program the display/receiver (see InstallationStep 4: Programming the Receiver on page 24).Display initiates a Pressure Deviation Alertshortly after beginning a ride.CAUSE:Tire pressure is 15% higher or lower than theprogrammed cold inflation pressure setting.ACTION:Inflate/deflate the affected tire to the motor-cycle's correct cold inflation pressure.3.When powered on, the Warning Icon flashes andthe display shows an E2, E3, E4, or E5 SystemAlert.CAUSE:Electronic components are not powering upproperly due to component malfunction orinsufficient voltage.4.SENEESORHASAfter removing the wheelfrom the motorcycle anddeflating the tirecompletely, unseat thebeads with the beadbreaker shoe 90° fromthe valve stem (awayfrom the sensor which islocated opposite the valvestem).Place the wheel on theturntable of a tiremounting machine anddepress the sidewall ofthe tire to verify theexact location of thesensor.REMOVING A TIRE WHEN A SENSOR HASBEEN INSTALLED ON A RIMAdvethetopwillcon ac ng e sensor.4.Repeat for the bottom bead.
