Title: Does the 2010 model have alarm and/or immobiliser
Post by: jonkawasaki on February 04, 2014, 07:44:50 PM
Evening folks

This may sound like a stupid question - but does the 2010 gtr 1400 have an alarm and/or immobiliser fitted as standard?

I know its got the funky key etc and Kawasaki call its security system some weird and wonderful names.....but what about simple terms?

Cheers

The Kipass system is classed as a Thatcham Mark 2 system for insurance purposes too, just so that you know.

The immobiliser clearly works very well .. Steves not had his bike nicked yet and he lives in a place called Bradford. :whistling:

I understand that yours is more likely to get washed away at the moment than nicked what with the weather down your neck of the woods! I've been sunbathing this afty.   :mfr_lol:

In fact, all 1400GTR's have build in immobiliser - most 600cc + bikes do these days.

Most insurer ask for the specific immobiliser - would this be 'Kawasaki Ignition System'??

Yes, or just refer to it as the KIPASS system, that's all they will need to know.
