Chester was run by Curt (c - n T to everyone who dealt with him) and were a complete waste of time. The showroom was 1 mike from my home so I went in twelve month back to trade a 4000 mile 20 plate bike, salesman took photos and told me the above mentioned C would email me some numbers. Two weeks later zero communication- I rode bike to Williams and left 30 minutes later with a triple black. Williams getting first refusal when new 1300’s are available. When bmw dumped Cheshire oaks and gave motorrad to Halliwell Jones everyone up this neck of the woods got excited and to date HJ haven’t been much/any better. They poached Williams senior tech who arrived at Chester to be told all work had to be approved by an salesman Williams had sacked for bullying/inappropriate behaviour and who had never held a spanner in his life. Technician left very quickly and is now back at Williams. Decent lad called Liam who’d likely as not sort your wheels in the car park while you watch.

Forget the price, Williams all the way
Levi should be made the boss!
They are a pain in the arse to get through to on the phone, but they are excellent once you do get through.
They are very thorough, picked up my soft cams on the 12k service and replaced without issue, even collected the bike for the warranty work.
I bought the bike from them, but I have dealt with them for 15 years or so, they have always been dead straight.
Chester offered me a 1 year old bike for the same price I bought my brand new one for at Williams!

I have checked with Williams Motorrad who confirmed that the 2022 model GS/GSA has completely different valves and sensors to the 2023 model and they are not compatible with each other.
So no swapping wheels or older spare set.
In the process of re-fitting the original 2023 bits and all should be ok again.
Surely you could fit the 2023 sensors in to the older wheels, the wheels haven’t changed have they?
If you still want black wheels, just swap the sensors around and boom, jobs sorted.
Obviously no good if you are wanting to use 2 different sets of wheels (gob forbid you would want a set for off road tyres, on a dual sport motorcycle
).
Sometimes I swear these companies do this stuff just to prove themselves to be so far removed from the product that they could be selling a tin of beans for all they know!

Triumph, HD, Husqvana have all used this LDL type of sensor.
Cheapest seems to be husky at 180 for the kit (but need to make sure it’s 433hz).

That is what I did.
Swapped the sensors and valves over. Valve connection different too.
They are not compatible with each other and even have a different ECU so you have to have the correct model year sensors for the bike.

Correct. The pre-2022 bikes have the Schrader system. Later bikes have the LDL Technology system.

I have an EL-50488 and it does not wake up my TPMS.
Hey it only cost £1.99 EBay
Does anyone have a link for a cheap TPMS wake up tool that works ?
Interesting my yr 23 GS Rallye was reading all the tyre pressures 0.2 bar high. Then around 5 months later they self corrected to the correct pressure. No the bike has not been in the dealers.

TPMS Activator with link
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is activated by a) Unknown number of wheel rotations b)Rapidly letting the tyre down There are other occasions when you may wish to know your TPMS reading, without needing to to do either of the above 1)When you are too lazy to do pre check ride...
