Earlier, when you first asked about this, I tried to explain a bit;
But, just today this same issue popped up on the COG forum...
this is the solution I have, pretty much the only one... go price the "kit's", and see if you want to put the money out... sounds like the dealership you are questioning is wayy out of line on his pricing, and simply doesn't want to deal with it...
I know for certain, if I had the KDS, I could accomplish all of the changes in less than 1 hour.. even while taking a smoke break... and at general shop rate time of $140-$180 max.. (
ridiculous price) per hour... It's a $1000 job... doubling and tripling the "parts costs" is abhorred...
Hey Folks,
I've got a 2013 kawi concours that had the wireless key fall out while I was riding. Happened about 9 months ago and I have just been overwhelmed about it and it's been sitting around. You can read about that here: http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=23724.0 but to touch on what's been covered:
- I have no keys for this motorcycle, other than the stovepipe key, which I can't activate.
- .....
Well, we're getting repaving done at my place and I have to move the bike tonight, called up my local Kawasaki dealer and they told me that in parts alone this was going to cost $2,400. That's before the pressure system for the tires which they're quoting me at starting at $3,300.
Has anybody had to do this before, I'm having a hard time finding costs associated,
At this stage it would be easier for me to declare the bike totaled.
THIS is the only way to get back into action....
the kit runs $875 approx...mind you, you will need a physical "key" that fits the ignition.. or you will need a complete ignition module also... with a key.
you have a stovekey in ignition, you are fine with that.. during programming, it will be used and paired when the ECU and FOBs are layed on the bike, and system programming takes place... as for wheel sensors..? if they ain't bad, they get programmed as is.. during the process.. you don't need new ones unless they are dead...
21176-0748 SENSOR,TPMS 315MHZ 2 req'd.... (approx $213 each.. )
2008-'09
2 matched active fobs, matched to ECU, and ECU..kit
21175-0183 CONTROL UNIT-ELECTRONIC
2010-thru '14
1 active FOB, and ECU, matched kit
21175-0299 CONTROL UNIT-ELECTRONIC
2015 up
1 active FOB, paired to ECU, matched kit
21175-0730 CONTROL UNIT-ELECTRONIC
extras, after buying the above, will give you "spares"
passive credit card immobilizer/fobs, for programming,
21175-0256 SPARE FOB KEY blank may need to be purchased..
It realllly makes me furious, to read of dealerships that do things like you have been dealt.. even with "part markup", the price of parts, and time/labor would never get over $1500, for everything, Kit, labor, etc... and the tech won't even have to wash his hands afterwards..
