Welcome to the forum, iggi. Are you sure you have the correct mhz listed? Old style or new style sensors? Old style battery can be replaced. Any dealer or Kaw parts house will have sensors. There was a chicom source listed but I believe it was the wrong mhz. I'm unaware of any aftermarket parts that will work.

Ours are 315Mhz.  Yours may be 434Mhz.  Assuming you bought the bike where you live, go to a Kawasaki dealer.  If under warranty, especially go to a Kawasaki dealer.  If you imported the bike then you need to talk to someone from whence it came.  As your bike is a 2012, it probably has the original sensor style and the battery can be replaced (with some effort).

Some links to the sensor threads here:

Well, I paid the same price in Croatia for pair of sensors. I already knew the price so I was prepared for hole in the wallet  :banghead:

It was already discussed, but big thumbs down for such overkill in price for two batteries by Kawasaki  :(

The OLD style sensor, which your bike likely has installed, has easily replaceable batteries.  It takes some soldering but if you can't do it, anyone with some basic electronic repair skills could do it for you.  The new batteries cost only about US$1:

Here is a source but I don't know if they ship to Israel or not: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/CR-2032%2FVCN/P660-ND/2404065

But an Israeli Panasonic distributor should be able to source these for you.  Panasonic PN CR-2032/VCN

As far as buying 3rd party sensors, I've never heard of any that work with the C14.  So either repair your existing ones or spend but big money replacing them.  Alternatively you can just remove them and use standard valve stems.  No sensors mean NO low battery warning.

Old vs. New (HOW TO TELL).  See the photo.  OLD style is in the hand.  NEW style is in the wheel.  Most bikes come from the factory with OLD.  Dealers replace under warranty with NEW.

how about importing them form Europe? I can give you a name that could have it, second hand. They are in Holland and have been a pleasure to work with for me, but I'm in Germany, so there's no import nightmares to sort out. PM me if interested.

Education is important. Riding my bike is importanter.

This is why you come here....for the help, the satire, the humor, and the humiliation..  Where else can you get this kind of fun?
