Tyre valve confusion

[highside]

Hi Guys, sorry not been on since my introduction, well ive only gone and  bought a 2011 dark green GTR Sooooooo pleased with the bike its fantastic , (picks will follow).
Now ive a problem, ive had to use her for work as my car off the road, well gues what .. ive got a puncture, not a problem ill get it repaired me thinks... BUT so i could grt her home i managed to borrow a pump from a work mate managed to get some air in it and rush to the petrol station to pack some more in but Derrr the air pump wont fit (big mistake). got it home... Just. but as i just pumping it up in my workshop i must have bent the valve as next thing big rush of air and the valve in 2 bits. Ahhhhhhhh. now ive had a look on the site and around the web but im still confused, Do i have to got to a main dealer an get an OP or can i get a cheaper replacement on fleebay ????    help.

Oh and the bike workshop I took the wheel to this morning says ill need to replace the sensor but I thought the valve just poked through and was seated through the sensor ?????

99% sure you can only get the complete unit which when fitted will need coding in by kawasaki.you could possibly use only the stem mounted to your old sensor if its intact so wont need coding.try a breakers for s/hand.have the part number as there are 2 types. Good luck

Check here looks like they maybe seperate.    http://www.kawasakiparts4u.com/

The black plastic sensor unit is separate from the valve stem unit. The valve passes through the sensor and is held in position by a spring between the sensor and the outer part of the valve stem.
Unless the sensor unit is damaged, you will not need a new one. If you do, it will need programming to the bike.
If you are looking for second hand on ebay, note that a European spec sensor should have 434MHz on the label, US ones are a different frequency.
The Kawasaki reference number is 21176-0124

Thanks for the reply's so far Guys, ive been in touch with Colchester Kawasaki and they say the part has been super seeded and i would have to order a complete new sensor as the new ones are all one unit £140+ then obs the tyre needs fixing then the new sensor will need to be set up with my bike..... Dam and blast and a few other expletives throne in lol. so ive gone onto find a bike part so hopefully there is one out there,

ON the other hand don't bother with tps. It's a nuisance any way.

Hi highside, I've got a spare valve that I keep for such times. You can have it if you like to get you back on the road. You can then just keep your eye out for a second hand one on ebay then send that back to me when one turns up if that helps you out

OK great, as long as you're sorted that's the main thing

The good old tps , never has so much been written and discussed about a item on a bike , if one bit on the gtr is a waste of time then this is it , if it doesn't let you down now it will in the future, take em out chuck in the bin and go back to when it goes down then deal with it ,
