While researching for the gentleman who's Fob was lost in transit, I started trying to do some research for him, to help. Found this clip on Kawasaki Motorcycle.org forum. Thought it might be worthwhile to research if anybody finds themselves in this situation.
I found a possible alternate option with the following company below.
Carmo Electronics (Located in the Netherlands) has been repairing CDI's and motorcycle electronic hardware since 1994. As a coincidence, they are currently refurbishing the IC Igniter on my KZ1300. As I was scanning their webpage, I noticed they re-key CPU's, provided you can find two blanks, or it appears they can provide them. It might be worth a call to them to see if they can provide what you need. I know this will depend on Kaw being able to sell you two blanks by themselves.
Main site address where componets are repaired: Alle sleutels kwijt? : Carmo Electronics, The place for parts or electronics for your Motorbike Quad Scooter Car or Jetski
Their US contact is: Contact Us : Carmo Electronics, The place for parts or electronics for your Motorbike Quad Scooter Car or Jetski http://www.cdidoctor.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4105
From their webpage:"Lost all keys?
Around the ignition switch of many motorbikes, there is a plastic ring. This ring contains a receiver which reads the key and communicates with the ECM/ECU-unit (or dashboard if it's a Ducati motorcycle).
If you have one working key, we can provide you with more immobilizer keys. You can get the keys from your dealer or from Carmo.
If you have lost all keys it is impossible to make new keys work.
Or is it?
Send your ECU-unit with one or two new keys (Available at your motorcycle dealer, or you can order them here) to Carmo electronics and we will make the new keys work. Everything will work as it originally did, including the immobilizer and the light on your dashboard.
So there's no need to buy expensive new ECU/ECM-units or a new dashboard.
Send the following items to Carmo electronics:
-ECM/ECU-unit of your motorcycle (or dashboard for Ducati motorcycles).
-One or two new chipkeys (or we can order them for you)
-Copy of your original purchase papers
Takes about 10 days to complete. 1 Year warranty. Claims everything works as it used to. A lot cheaper than a new ECU, and FOBS from factory.
Also found this article about the diagnostic side Kawasaki Diagnostics System 3.0. You can program up to 6 Fobs on 1 ECU. Explains everything that can be done through the KDS, and all the information needed if 1 part of the system fails. FI ECU, KIPASS ECU, TPS Sensors. Was an interesting read!! Page is a PDF. Blank page will open with a box at bottom asking if you want to open or save the PDF.
