Hi Hmmaer5 Rash,
have you removed the sticker on the rim that BMUU kindly placed there to warn tyre fitters of the location of the pressure sensor? If it is still there IMHO I feel you would have valid claim for the damage. As a consumer it is reasonable that you would not be aware of the possibilities of damage occurring during the process of breaking a tyre bead in proximity to the sensor. It is also reasonable that a tyre fitting specialist would be aware of this and would avoid using his equipment in that area. If, however, you had removed a warning label designed to inform a tyre replacement specialist that there was a sensor fitted. You say he "forgot", does this mean that you also informed the fitter of its presence?
In my opinion, with the warning sticker attached, and even more so had I mentioned it too, I would feel there are enough grounds to ask for the centre to rectify the damage. There is no need to get hot under the collar, politely point out that you are assuming that they will repair the damage, or replace the wheel if repair is not possible, they have now rendered your vehicle unroadworthy.
I see yo have already placed a Wanted ad for a new wheel. Have they already refused, did you give up on them, or are you just trying to get your bike back on the road? If it is the latter, then the silver GS "option" wheels are also good for the GSA.
