Kawasaki Other description

Serviced and ready to go. It's time for me to say uncle at my age. The 14 is a great bike, super fast, handles great and is great a long distance bike.

 I'm the second owner.  There are some scratches on the left side of the bike where it looks like it fell over, they're on the side view mirror, in the black, just

at paint line and on the lower fairing, on the black and on the bottom of the painted side air vent. You really have to look hard to see them when your standing

next to the bike. The left saddle bag has a couple of scrapes on the raised ridges, like they were scraped up next to something (about 3/4" long).

The mileage is 37782 now and will no doubt will be going up a little. Services that have been done: 32,300 mi. new spark plugs, 33,000 mi. valves adjusted

and done right. All the valves were adjusted to just below max spec. .009 on the exhaust and .006 intake, not like some people do if minimum goes it fly's (but not for long)

and a new factory air filter was installed at that time too. 33,600 mi new front and rear tires were mounted. A note about the rear tire, I bought them off of e-bay and

when I received them the rear tire was damaged, something heavy was set on it and it bent the bead on one side and I should have sent it back but the tires on the bike

were bald and I wanted to ride. I bent the bead back out and mounted the tire but it didn't seal and every four or five days the tire will loose about five psi. and needs to

be aired up. Lesson learned ! 

The bike has a Delkevic cat back exhaust (stock one also goes with bike), two locking helmet hooks, National V force windshield (stock low windshield also), 2" handle bar risers

with GPS mount ball, Low seat, which comes from the ZX 14 and the gray and white stock seat, a new never used K&N air filter, owner's manual and service manual on disc.

Everything works as it should on the bike, so buy it, fly in and ride it home !!

2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 Traction Control [video]

Thu, 29 Oct 2009

With the new Concours, Kawi created its first traction control system. Unlike the ABS, the rider can disable or enable KTRC, and can do so on the fly. The new TC system isn’t level selectable, like, say, Ducati’s DTC, and it isn’t intended to allow a rider to go faster on their Connie.

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
