Kawasaki Concours 14 description
2012 Kawasaki Concours. I'm the 3rd owner.
This bike is the Cadillac of sport-touring bikes. Smooth and comfortable. I bought it for a trip which quickly fell apart, and for my daily riding it's way more than I would ever possibly need. The bike comes with ABS, TCS, and heated grips from the factory. Comes with the main key, the main fob, and a secondary fob that also has a bag key.
The bike has 18,6xx miles subject to change as I ride it. New front Pilot Road 4 tire this season. Good Pilot Road 3 rear last season. New EBC brakes this year.
Extras include a Delkevic exhaust which sounds beautiful (the original exhaust comes with the bike) a V-Stream windshield taller than stock (the stock is not available but is readily findable in the aftermarket), factory bar risers on the handlebars and large trunk that can even fit a laptop bag or a full-face helmet.
The previous owner is 6'5" and set it up for himself. I'm 5'9" and still don't feel the big is too big for me. If you put the bike in eco mode and don't get really aggressive with stops and starts, you can get 43-45 mpg even at 70 mph... if you hammer on it and ride it like the ZX-14 it is based on, you will get 35-36 mpg. The bike was maintained according to schedule. All oil changes were accompanied by final drive fluid changes.
The only and only one bad is that the bike was tipped/dropped on the right side leaving some cosmetic damage on the right trunk lid, plastics, and mirror. None of this is terrible. I've taken pictures of its showing the extent of the damage -- nothing is broken or cracked - it was SET over. It was not reported or submitted as a claim. I wouldn't hesitate hopping on this bike and riding across the country tomorrow. Located in the southeastern suburbs of the Twin Cities Minnesota area, and will accommodate fly and rides and shipping services. |

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks
Mon, 21 May 2012K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013Earlier this month, we published news about an issue with certain Nissin anti-lock brake system modulators that have been connected to recalls in Canada and Japan from Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki, with the possibility of it expanding to further models and manufacturers using the same component. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has now released documents from American Honda’s recall of ABS-equipped CTX700 and CTX700N that shed some more light into the issue. According to the documentation, a manufacturing error may have resulted in Nissin ABS modulators being contaminated with aluminum chips.
