Kawasaki Other description

The Concours is a stable sport-touring motorcycle with legendary reliability and practicality. 

Purchased from first owner in 2010 at 10,000 miles with aftermarket handlebar risers, manual throttle lock, LED brake lights, and Cee Bailey smoke tinted windscreen already installed. First owner was also a careful rider who did full interval services as recommended. 

The Cee Bailey had a lip on it that produced helmet buffeting for me and more so for passenger. So one important upgrade was Rifle windscreen that is has no helmet issues for driver or passenger. Other modifications include highway pegs, GIVI large top case - two helmets fit inside! Right after taking ownership I installed Steve Sefsick's 7th gear and performance fuel injection modifications, original documentation provided. Added Dale Walker HoleShot mufflers at the same time, now about 10,000 miles on these modifications. The 7th gear is a fantastic modification that doesn't add a 7th gear, but by changing cog(?) size makes gear spacing about 10% higher so RPM lower at highway speeds, and keeps you from "looking for 7th gear". I was tired of the gold "old man's" color, and so had the whole bike professionally painted in Kawasaki "metallic spark black" in 2014. Added European style twin headlights in 2013.

I have changed the oil every 2,000 miles or 6 months with full synthetic motorcycle oil. Valves were last checked around 16,000 miles. Battery was changed in 2015. I have ridden the bike year 'round, not as much in the winter, but still once every couple weeks. Has never sat idle/unused. Have taken a few longer weekend trips, but primarily commute to & from work 15-20 miles each way. Handles very well on highway for longer distances. 

A few scuffs on saddlebag from driveway tip-over. No accidents, no surprises.

2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R, Ninja 650 and Versys Pegged for Recall

Wed, 07 Mar 2012

Kawasaki is issuing a recall for certain 2012 Ninja 250R and Ninja 650 sportbikes as well as the Versys 650 due to a risk of the passenger footpegs falling off. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the circlips on the footpegs’ mounting pins may break under engine vibrations, potentially leading the footpegs to detach. This poses a potential danger to the passenger.
