WANT TO KNOW MORE? MANUFACTURER’S AND REVIEWER'S DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS:
• Proven, erformance-enhanced Ninja ZX-14-based 1,352cc inline-four with variable valve timing provides smooth power across a wide rev range
• Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected, elping the rear tire to regain grip
• Kawasaki Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) links front and rear brakes and has two modes to suit different riding styles
• Aluminum monocoque frame is lightweight, arrow and rigid
• Tetra-Lever shaft drive offsets the lifting and squatting tendencies of shaft drive
• Fuel economy assistance mode prioritizes fuel savings, iving up to a 25 percent mileage boost
• Standard heated grips help provide comfort even in harsh conditions
• Convenient Kawasaki Intelligent Proximity Activation Starting System (KIPASS) (Anti-theft system)
• Electrically adjustable windscreen has memory function and suits a variety of riders
• Variable valve timing improves the engine’s flexibility and efficiency by altering camshaft profiles to boost low-end and mid-range without sacrificing top-end power
• Its compact and narrow engine design minimizes weight for maximum handling and performance
• Chrome composite-plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, urable and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability under high loads
• Gear-Driven Dual Engine Balancers: Already in perfect primary balance, he Concours inline four-cylinder engine uses dual secondary balancers to virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for enhanced rider comfort
• Ram Air Induction: Ram air ducts provide a straight path for cool, igh-pressure air to enter the airbox for maximum intake efficiency and power
• Digital Fuel Injection: Digital computer feeds the engine exactly the amount of fuel it needs for cleaner emissions and maximum fuel economy
• A 32-bit electronic control unit works with the dual throttle-valve system to further enhance throttle response and control
• Four individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each spark plug independently to achieve optimum timing
• An idle speed control system included in the ECU provides easy starting and warm-up
• Traction Control for safety: Kawasaki’s traction control system reduces engine output when wheelspin is detected, elping the rear tire to regain grip
• Advanced, -way control (airflow, gnition timing, uel delivery) gives KTRC smooth operation, atural feel and the ability to operate on long stretches of rough roads
• KTRC adds no weight, ince it uses the existing ECU and ABS sensors
• Second generation K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS links front and rear brakes for most effective front-rear brake force distribution
• Small and lightweight K-ACT ABS unit with a high-spec ECU is capable of detailed calculations for ultra-smooth operation
• The rider can choose one of two modes to suit riding situation or rider preference: The linked effect from front brake lever actuation is largely the same in both modes, ut the linked effect when actuating the rear brake pedal is quite different
• In Standard Mode, ider control is prioritized, ith linked effect reduced at initial pedal stroke for natural sensation when sport riding
• In High Combined Mode, here’s a more pronounced linked effect from the beginning of the pedal stroke – ideal for touring and two-up highway use
• A low-battery mode maintains ABS function as best as possible when the battery charge is low. In low-battery mode, BS timing and pressure relief functions are maintained, o brake effectiveness is preserved (although riders will notice that ABS operation is not as smooth). The K-ACT lamp will flash and “Low Battery” will be displayed on the LCD screen. The system resets when the engine is turned off
• Activating fuel economy assistance mode changes the engine to a leaner map, hich prioritizes fuel economy for as much as a 25 percent MPG boost
• Fuel economy assistance works in any gear as long as rpm is below 6000, hrottle opening less than 30 percent and speed less than 80 mph
• Each Concours 14 comes with one key fob (kept in a rider's pocket) and a small card-type key for emergency/backup use. The card-type key includes an immobilizer function (but no remote activation) and is highly portable, easuring just 1.2 x 1.6 x 0.25 inch
• Radial Pump Clutch Master Cylinder: A hydraulic radial pump clutch master cylinder delivers smooth, recise clutch engagement
• Hollow aluminum box sections arch over the engine from the steering head to the swingarm pivot for a narrow, igid and very light frame
• The rigidly mounted engine acts as a stressed frame member to increase the frame’s torsional rigidity while reducing weight
• Forward engine positioning, heelbase length and front/rear weight balance were carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handling
• Radial-Mount Petal-Type Front Disc Brakes: Radial design uses mounting points at the top and bottom of the caliper, ith mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper instead of the side/front for increased rigidity and improved braking feel
• Separate brake pads for each caliper piston provide increased cooling efficiency and more consistent brake feel under extreme conditions
• Petal design front and rear brake rotors provide enhanced cooling and better warp resistance
• Radial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and lever feel
• Tetra-Lever Shaft Drive: Unique four-link design offsets lifting and squatting tendencies of shaft drive when the throttle is opened and closed, ignificantly reduces driveline lash during sport riding, nd provides smooth acceleration when exploiting the engine’s incredible power output
• Virtually maintenance-free, he Tetra-Lever system dramatically reduces routine maintenance requirements
• Plenty Of Storage: Concours 14’s large-volume, asily detachable side cases are integrally designed to complement the rest of the machine. Water-resistant, hey easily each hold a full-face helmet
• The cases are mounted as close as possible to the bike’s centerline and center of gravity, ith lightweight construction that minimizes their influence on handling
• A lightweight rear carrier is designed to be compatible with an accessory top case
• An all-purpose 40-watt accessory socket is mounted on the dash, roviding convenient access to power for electronics
• Full Instrumentation: Easy-to-read speedometer and tachometer, ulti-function LCD digital display including an odometer, wo trip meters, uel gauge, ear position indicator, ire pressure indicator and a clock are just a partial listing of the 2013 Concours 14’s display capabilities
• Controller Area Network (CAN) interface between the gauges uses fewer wires and allows a greater volume of information to be exchanged than in traditional instrument panels
• Other key instrument functions include the K-ACT mode indicator, conomical Riding Indicator, nd Fuel Economy Assistance Mode mark
• Multi-function display includes outside air temperature, hose sensor is located at the intake duct (the farthest point from the engine)
• The Mode Select button on the front of the left grip lets the rider change LCD modes without taking his/her hand off the grip, oggling through average fuel consumption, nstant fuel consumption, emaining range, ire pressure, attery voltage and outside temperature
• Aggressive fairing with specially designed venting facilitates heat dissipation, reatly reducing the amount of hot air transmitted to the rider
• A tall windscreen with a wide upper portion reduces upper-body turbulence. The screen is electrically adjustable, ith four programmable preset positions
• When the power is turned off, he windscreen goes to its lowest position. When the power is turned back on, he windscreen’s memory function returns it to the selected preset position
• Passages from windscreen slits direct air through the inner fairing to vents next to the instrument panel; alleviating the lower pressure helps prevent turbulence around the rider’s head
• An exhaust pipe guard attached to the upper part of the exhaust mid-pipe helps protect the rider from heat when stopped
• Stepless adjustable grip heaters are standard, ith an easy-to-reach switch located in front of a lockable storage case on the inner left fairing panel
• This lockable storage case in the left fairing inner panel uses an electromagnetic lock to prevent entry when the engine is off
• Mirrors are positioned ideally to increase rear visibility and provide optimal hand protection from the wind
• Attachment hooks at the front of the tank facilitate securing a tank bag
