Why is the rear tire sensor showing higher temp than the front tire?

It’s completely normal for the rear tire sensor to display a higher temperature than the front. This difference happens due to several physical and mechanical factors during riding.

1. Closer to Heat Sources

The rear tire sits near the engine and exhaust system, which constantly generate heat. As a result, the air around the rear tire is warmer, and the sensor naturally detects higher temperatures.

2. Higher Load and Power Output

The rear tire handles most of the engine power and acceleration, creating more friction and heat buildup inside the tire compared to the front one.

3. Less Cooling Airflow

While the front tire benefits from direct airflow, the rear tire is partially covered by components such as the swingarm, exhaust, and frame. This reduces airflow and cooling efficiency, leading to higher temperatures.

Summary

A higher temperature reading on the rear tire is normal and does not indicate a sensor issue.
However, if the difference becomes unusually large, check your tire pressure, load, or ensure that airflow around the rear tire isn’t blocked.
