[QUOTE="tesla, post: 904273, member: 19338"] Got the Orange Electronics TPMS and took it to the dealer today to have it installed. Rear was fine but the front was a no go. The front rim is narrower and it has a steeper curvature in the rim than the rear which prevented the sensor from laying flat and not making a good seal and therefore leaking air. They could have built it up with rubber grommets but it would make the stem to short coming out of the rim which would make it difficult to stick an air chuck on it. I called Connor at Orange Electronics and he was stumped. Said that he had not had any negative feedback from FJR owners. Are rim sizes universal? If our front rim size is 17M/C × MT5.50 does that mean if a Honda ST1300 had the same rim it would be the same dimensions? [/QUOTE]
