need a fob key
« on: August 13, 2011, 04:24:46 PM »
hey guys,

i m back from my 4K trip up to blue ridge parkway and down to the east coast.  Beside my battery replacement in Winchester, i also lost a fob key. Wasnt a good trip for the bike.

Got spay painted yellow by the truck doing the lines on the road, got ants invaded in Myrtle Beach and lost the key fob.

i ve read a bit about thoses key so i know i need a new one that will be reprogrammed by my dealer and have the accessories key cut by a locksmith.

So anyone here knows where i can get them or maybe have one to sell

thx

Unfortunately I think a stealership is your only option (full fob =250.00) I would opt for credit card if its a back-up.

Be very careful if buying a used fob because it will not likely come with the number your dealer will need to program the bike. The programming number only appears on the package the fob originally came in from Kawasaki; without that number, you will not be able to get the fob to work with your bike.

Just as an aside, the bike is programmed to recognize the fob, not the other way around. The fob is not and cannot be programmed.

The best prices on new fobs are usually from discount dealers, at least in the US; for example, Ron Ayers has full function fobs (the type that contain a battery and work from some distance) for about $200, and credit- card fobs (no battery on board and they must be held up to the ignition housing to have the bike 'see' them) for about $35. Either fob will work with any C-14 once the bike is properly programmed to work with it.

There are also two types of key used on Kawasakis, one is left- handed and the other is right- handed. They are marked 'A' and 'B' so be sure to get the key that fits your bike.

You have to look at the 2010 parts list to see the CC key fob. I believe it is listed as just a spare fob.
Life is good.... At least from my perspective.
