The C-14, aka Kawasaki Concours-14, the new one :) > Accessories and modifications - C14/GTR 1400
Concours 14 aftermarket TPMS replacement WORKS!
Big Red:
First off, big thank you to johnchen for letting us all know about this. Apparently Mazda 3 sensors (PN:BBM2-37-140B) work. I went with the Autel universal sensor that was compatible with the Mazda 3 sensor. Knowing the Mazda 3 protocol and which sensor allowed me to program the Autel universal sensor so that it worked!
PROGRAMMING NOTE: IN HEX CODE THERE IS NO LETTER "O". IT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER ZERO (0).

Others have said that they cannot read the Kawasaki sensor. That doesn't matter as long as you HAVE the sensor. The old style Kawasaki sensors have the code both on the cover, and on the circuit board.
Once you have your code, new sensor, and the pad, install the Autel software. Click the button "Car Brand", then click on Mazda, Mazda 3, then 2004/01-2004/12. Then click "Create Sensor". You'll see this screen, which shows the Mazda part number noted before.
Type in your sensor ID in the box, then click "Program". After it programs, click "Test Sensor" and verify your info. It'll look like this.
Then install your sensor, and drive it around the block. It took about 1/4 mile and the bike recognized the sensor! I am ecstatic. This sensor is an order of magnitude cheaper then the "right" one.

A big thanks to you, Red, for posting that info!

Thanks for the write-up and report!

This sound great. Is it possible to install the new sensor and then do the setup? That way the shop can dismount the tire and swap the sensors in one step.

Very likely. johnchen said the pad will read the sensor while it's installed. One would assume that you could program it as well. I'll try to remember to try to read the sensor sometime this week.
