Tire change with TPMS

[TEDZ]

I've been using a Nomar to change tires for about 10 years, always on bikes without tire pressure monitors.  I recently bought a 2013 R1200RT with the TPMS option.

Where should I start with the NoMar bar in relation to the sensors so I don't make an expensive mistake?

Morning TEDZ

 

 

Front tire___ Pry off the tire opposite the valve/tire pressure monitoring sensor (RDC sensor). 
 
Apply the lever to the rim at RDC sticker, to prevent the tire bead from damaging the RDC sensor. 
 
 

Rear tire___ Pry off the tire opposite the valve/tire pressure monitoring sensor (RDC sensor). 
 
 
Apply the lever to the rim at RDC sticker, to prevent the tire beam from damaging the RDC sensor. 

 

Basically you don't want to pull the tire beads into or against the RDC sensor.

Thanks.  The front is done and back on the bike.  The rear will be tomorrow.
