Q. Can I install the system on any bike or scooter?
A. The RTS can be installed on all bikes and scooters equipped with tubeless tires. The RTS is available in two versions: with valves of diameter 8,3 mm and 11,3 mm. Before purchasing the RTS make sure that the diameter of the valves on your bike corresponds to the one marked on the RTS packaging. There could be some difficulties for the assembly of the RTS sensors on some versions the Yamaha FJR 1300 due to its peculiar rim design.

Q. How long does it take to install it on the bike?
A. About one hour.

Q. Is there any electric connection required?
A. No electric connection is required. The RTS system is battery operated and therefore it is independent from the electric circuit of the bike.

Q. Can I install the sensors on any of the two wheels?
A. No. Each sensor comes already matched to one of the two wheels ready for use. A label on each sensor indicates the wheel it has been matched to. For additional sensor assembly instructions click on this link "Sensor assembly". The self learn procedure is not necessary when you install the RTS for the first time. In case the sensor is assembled on the wrong tire, you do not need to remove it: simply follow the self learn procedure. The PDF file "Self Learning", will show you a step by step procedure.

Q. I installed the sensors. How can I verify that the RTS is working?
A. 1. When you switch on the RTS display for the first time, you will see that the TRY ME function (test mode) is still active. Press S1 for 5 seconds, until all the display icons will appear simultaneously.
2. The sensors are activated only by the spinning of the wheels; therefore it's necessary to drive for a short distance, even at a moderate speed, in order to ensure that the sensors start transmitting data to the central unit.
3. You can now set the reference pressure by pressing S2 for more than 2 seconds. This will also disable the TRY ME function and will put the RTS system in normal operating mode

Q. How do I activate the RTS?
A. If less than 24 hours lapsed since the last activation, simply press S1 or S2 briefly. Otherwise press S1 until all the display icons appear simultaneously.

Q. I activated the RTS, how comes I cannot see any data on the display?
A. The sensors are activated only by the spinning of the wheels; therefore it's necessary to drive for a short distance, even at a moderate speed, before the sensors start transmitting data to the central unit.

Q. When should I use the Self Learning procedure?
A. . The Self Learning procedure should be used only when you replace one or both sensors and/or the central unit. It might also be required when the sensors contained in the original RTS kit have been installed on the wrong tires. Click on the link "Self Learning", to follow the step by step procedure.

Q. What if my BMW has the valve on the spoke on the front wheel?
A. In this case, your BMW should have threaded hole on the rim. Zadi supplies with RTS a special bolt that can be used to assemble the sensor by fixing it to this hole. Click on the link "Sensor Assembly on some BMW" to see the detailed instructions. On 2006, and for a short time, BMW produced bikes with a hole that was not threaded. Unfortunately, for these bikes there is no way to assemble the RTS sensors.

Q. How do I assemble the sensor in case of 90° valves?
A. Simply follow the instructions contained in this file “90° Valve assembly".

Q. Can the sensors battery be replaced?
A. No. The battery is immersed in a special resin inside the sensor in order to protect it against the weather and to guarantee its proper functioning. When the battery is low it is necessary to replace the entire sensor.

Q. Can the central unit battery be replaced?
A. Yes. It can be easily replaced with a common lithium battery (CR123A) by unscrewing the back of the central unit.

Q. Is it water- and vibration- proof?
A. The system fully complies with all existing regulations. It is totally water-proof, nevertheless for precautionary reasons, we recommend to remove the RTS central unit before washing the motorbike with a high pressure hose.

The RTS sensors are designed to endure the typical stresses of any type of bike. Since the sensors batteries are fully immersed in resin and the sensors are joined to the tire rim by means of a specially designed valve stem they can withstand accelerations of over 2000G.
