Lost FOB, KIPASS replacement cost?

[Freddy]

Chile, I'm considering the CARMO route. I'm still unclear about how to remove the module they need from the ignition switch region.

Can anyone make sense of these directions? https://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/2008-2012-kawasaki-concours-zg1400-gtr1400-lost-fobs-keys

Thank you

I have not done it on a bike but if you check the pix in the item below you see the lock assembly.  The 2 rivets they mention are actually shear bolts - the head of the bolts shear off when torqued to make it difficult to remove them - for security reasons.  They hold the lock to the underside of the triple tree.  They need the whole lock assembly.

Those bolts can sometimes be loosened with a good centre punch and hammer.  If not, drill the remaining head off in dead centre.

That link in your earlier post is an interesting find for folks in USA.

a HUGE shout-out to lather. He suggested I talk to Chris at Short Tronics in MN. I told Chris that my 2010 bike's fob got run over, but the circuit board looked fine to the naked eye. He suggested moving the main chip to the circuit board of a new fob, or a used one known to be working. Lather happened to have an old 2008 fob he wasn't using!!!

IT WORKED.

The 2008 transponder part number is different from my 2010, but the mitsubishi number at the bottom of the circuit board matched, and everything else seemed identical. And it worked.

THANK YOU lather and also everyone who contributed info.

Now I am wondering if I can get the passive chip from that 2008 fob "paired" to my bike so I have a backup. I know ID codes are needed to do this with the active transponder, but what about the passive one?

The passive chip in my 2010 must have popped out and I couldn't find it on the side of the road. So I have no backup currently.

Glad it worked for you jdaugh and glad I could help. Chris at Short Tronics is a wizard with keyboards.

Passive is the easy one. You just need someone with a KDS (dealer?). But remember to take the battery out of the fob and test the passive before you head home afterwarrds.

Thank you, Michelle!

Anyone know of someone near/between Jax and Daytona with a KDS? Actually in the middle of those but also inland a bit: Welaka.

Maybe the dealer will do this for a reasonable price. I'll check Monday. But it would be great if I could save miles and/or dollars and give the dollars to someone who got a KDS instead.

Steve of shouldabeen has a kds. I think he is somewhere around Gainesville or Tallahassee now.

I've seen him on youtube! Thank you, lather.

Thank you, Freddy! I will look into that.
