I left my bike (08) at the dealer this morning to have the front tire pressure sensor battery replaced. The service writer called back and said that the battery could not be replaced by itself, that the entire sensor had to be replaced and that there were 3 different parts and that they would have to break the tire down and get the sensor to see which one they needed. After that they could order the proper part. I think he is being straight with me, because he agrees with me that this is a bunch of bull****. I checked the service manual (thanks to this site for posting the pdf so I could check) The manual escentially agrees with the dealer (page 10-15).
I have been reading that the battery IS replaceable on this sensor. So, my question is which is correct. The service writer told me that even if we could find the battery number, he, as a dealer could not install it for me. I actually don't think this young man is trying to jerk me around. I just hope that the tech reps at Kawasaki are telling him to do a quick but more expensive fix.
Thoughts?
