has it ever worked? does it work after you've been out quite a while? if you download the manual from this site it'll probably tell you exactly where the sensor is and how to test

Section 15-32 of the manual.............. explains it

And the sensor is on the thermostat housing at the rear of the engine

guys you really can be a pain in the ass, to the op cradleys (banner top of page) are a kwak dealer who do mail order, alot of dealers for cars and bikes are now happy to mail parts to you but if you've never had cause to go into a dealer and ask you wouldn't know. cargo's probably getting at the fact that if you used the search function on here cradley's mailing stuff is covered ALOT

What I'm getting at is that if you want Kawasaki parts you can get them from a Kawasaki dealer..........................seems so obvious to me but for many on here just cant grasp that very simple concept.

but the op may well have not realised that most dealers are happy to mail stuff (why would you unless you either asked somewhere or someone told you) as he's unlikely to just pop to a local dealer from the shetlands

why is it that you have to get silly and be frankly quite rude? somebody asked a question on a forum full of people who may or may not have had similar situations thinking that those people will be able to help then you come out with ridiculous silly sarcasm?! why not just ignore it, you werent forced to answer the question you chose to.
