I'll drink for both of you..  I know that will make me happy.

seems to throw this error every time it hits -4ºC goes off when tyre warms up.

is this a sign of a weakening battery or something more sinister?

Mine has done this a few times, always the rear tyre. TPS changed under warranty (twice) now seems much better but still happens for a few moments on the coldest of rides.

Weakening battery..  It will eventually start the warnings at higher and higher temps.

Hey guys

quick question :

My understandaing is that 2 verions of the Sensor are available. The sealed and the non sealed.

Mine is a 2009 version, and on the microfiche I can see the PN being :

CHKM386696 SENSOR,TPMS 315MHZ

The latest version, which I assume is the sealed one has the following PN :

CHKM383446   SENSOR,TPMS 433MHZ

So my questions:

1) Can someone confirm that I have non sealed TPMS?

2) Is the new PN (CHKM383446) is the one for the non sealed version?

3) How do you explain the Mhz difference?

A bit lost on that topic and I would require someone to enlightent me :-)

Thanks

You will have the non sealed type unless they have been changed recently.

Hey

Thanks for this fast reply. This is what I was thinking.

Now, if I get the alarm to often (non only on cold winter days), shall I buy the 2014 version of the TPMS?

Would they be non sealed? Would they work ? (the frequency does not seems to be the same

Sincerely

Part Number     Hertz          Specification   Mark [A]
21176-024         434 MHz   EUR, AU, SEA   Blue
21176-027         315 MHz   MY                   Red
21176-025         315 MHz   US, CA, CAL   Green

This is for the original sensors.  DHAC on the new ones.

They may well be sealed and you would need a Kawasaki Dealer to program them to your bike.

Ok so the only solution is to go to the dealer, sign a check for 300€ and have a sealed solution again?????

This is realy crappy and not the way the Japanese bike maker usually works...

Crappp..
