Good find but what I wonder is will it trigger the bogus low battery warning in a year just like the OEM?soon or later it will, it use a battery too
It does the same but with a different sensors brand, they work in the same frecuency, that is a good deal compared with this one

It is the one I used to do mine,
How would it connect to the bike?
Those interested will probably will need more information about the mounting/bracket. Does the sensor need an air connection to the valve stem for reference to atmosphere, or does it have a self-contained vessel it compares against? It looks in your photo like it is not air-connected to the stem, its just hanging there off that bracket you made. (This could be a $ opportunity for someone to sell Concours "kits" with programming service and pre-made brackets.)The sensor is enclosed inside of the tire and read only the pressure inside of the tire, same as the OEM i in this system the atmospheric pressure do not affect the reading but the temperature does
As an aside- without a reference to atmosphere, it cannot have an accurate reading for various elevations. But I am thinking it is too small a difference to matter with this? I played with some calculations and it seems it would be only about 1.5 psi difference between sea level and 3000ft. Does the OEM compare to atmosphere? (It looks like it probably does).
My understanding is that it doesn't connect to the bike but clones the stock sensor by writing its ID number to the Schrader sensor with the 'tool.'That is correct, for the ECU is like if the old OEM sensor still there, no programing needed to the bike ECU

Why did it need the angled mount? Did it protrude too far into the tire the way it came?Yes it does and the centrifugal force that is what wake up the sensor will not be the same, the sensor is designed to be on a position in the wheel the way that it wake up when wheel spin ans as those sensor are designed for cars and no for motorcycles the purpose of the bracket is to mount the sensor in the way that must be
This makes me wonder if there are right-angle valve stems that will work.
Thanks for researching this; I use those same sensors at work every day. We have a drawer full of them. This makes me wonder if there are right-angle valve stems that will work.GPGood, do not forget, as you will not find in the tool menu theoption, for Kawasaki motorcycles just find a brand and model of. Vehicle that the tool. be able to read the Kawasaki OEM sensor identification number and under same menu input that information to the generic sensor
