Concours 14 aftermarket TPMS replacement WORKS!

Here's something interesting, some TPMS use a magnetic field to wake up for programming. Makes sense that the Autel MaxiPad gnerates a field but wonder if this schrader valve magnet would work?

Thanks guys. Will give it a shot. I did not have a chance to bring the bike out these few days. Should have some time this weekend to try it out.

I ordered the magnet but it doesn't work on the Kawasaki sensors. Oh well got a cool magnet.
I did confirm the Autel MaxiTPMS Pad will read the new sensors thru the mounted tire, so you can mount the new sensors and then program them after reading the label on the old ones after tire mounting.

Updates: I took the Connie out for a short ride this afternoon and I managed to read out the ID of the front sensor by placing the pad close to the valve stem.
I then used the ID to program to the new sensor. This evening, I was curious to see if the new sensor was programmed correctly. So, I started the engine and used the pad to wake up the sensor. In about 30 seconds, my bike picked up the signal and showed 0 PSI. 

I was pretty stoked that this worked. The next thing to do is to remove the wheel and tire to replace the sensor.

Thanks again to Big Red, dbird29 and Boomer for your help and suggestions.

I was able to find one of the Autel pads, now I need the sensors. i found these two styles, would either be acceptable?

The one with the rubber stem is not suitable in the long term because when tyres are to be replaced in the future the sensor needs to be unscrewed and allowed to drop inside out of harm's way.

Thanks Freddy, great advice! I’ll go with your recommendation.

I bought the same model with the silver cap. I purchased two as a spare in case the rear also needs to be replaced.

Note that the metal stem is longer than the newer Kaw sensors, which can be difficult to get air into unless the connector hose is flexible.  Those with a double sided air chuck have been known to break those Kaw stems!!! 

These may be handy to keep in the glove box.
