Transforming IGOFARs ST1300 . . . to Shuey's!

Most shops are required to replace the valve stem at every tire change, and as long as you use a good quality SHORT stem, I've never had one of them (Michelin) fail.
I have seen many aftermarket Metal stems fail when the rubber O-rings crack and come apart. And nobody seems to support the metal stem O-rings etc.
Just a thought.

Because, I'd like to know there's a problem . . . before the shimmy. Maybe it's just me.Why would you need a monitor system to tell you, when the "shimmy" should have been obvious enough

As far as the TPMS sensor, I'd use a quality metal valve such as:
A 90* version: https://www.wunderlichamerica.com/M...1cZiUut-zIyZ2xOnmrAOWrqPXhRGSJBAXr8NdVzR33PPi
or
A metal "T"-valve, that makes adding air very simple: https://wingstuff.com/products/37222-t-valve-optional-accessory-for-fobo-2-tpms

Whaaaaat . . . no lights on the rear wheel or center stand? That's just embarrassing.

another option is a hi-pressure stem , it's brass encased in rubber. Very stiff, no flex
Very common in high pressure tires.
The TPMS system will start to warn you when you lose as few as 3-4 lbs. Plenty of time to assess the problem BEFORE the shimmy. Been there, done that.
