Scott C's Classics and Collectables has a Very Clean 2008 Kawasaki Concours up for Sale... This Bike was Just Fully Serviced and Inspected and Is Ready to Ride.... This Bike is For Sale on our Showroom and May Be Removed if Asking Price is Met.... For More Info or Pictures Please Call or Text Walter at 724-570-0155 Anytime... The Concours 14 is built for stability right down to its chassis. The original ZX-14 monocoque aluminum frame has been reinforced, thickened, and extended in order to cope with the rigors of saddlebags and spirited two-up riding, and has 20% more torsional rigidity than the ZX-14's. The swingarm has been extended and the rear axle moved 30mm back, while the front axle has also been moved 30mm forward, resulting in an overall wheelbase extension of 60mm-- further improving stability and making the bike harder to wheelie. In place of chain drive is a Tetra-Lever shaft drive, which reduces squat, lift, and driveline lash. Though less slack traditionally makes a shaft drive system harder to shift smoothly, the Concours's slipper clutch counteracts that effect while reducing wheel hop during abrupt downshifts. Incidentally, the Concours is the only bike in its class with that race-developed feature. The Concours's 1,352cc inline-4 is smoothed out with a secondary balancer, and innovative variable valve timing optimizes power delivery by sensing rpm and throttle position. New injectors offer more orifices, but a smaller throttle bore (40mm vs 44mm) enhances low and mid-range throttle response (as opposed to the ZX-14's emphasis on all-out power.) A single exhaust replaces the ZX-14's dual system, and dual cooling fans replace the ZX's sole fan. KIPASS Technology Means No More Key Fumbling One of the coolest new features on the Concours 14 is KIPASS, (Kawasaki Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) which utilizes a small FOB transponder to wirelessly enable the bike to start. Each Concours comes with two transponders, each equipped with a unique ID code which is recognized by the bike within a radius of 5 1/4 feet. Up to 6 additional FOBs can be registered to each bike, and the Concours will not start when the FOB is out of its range. The beauty of KIPASS is that if you leave a FOB in your jacket pocket, you don't have to worry about fumbling with keys... unless, of course, you misplace your jacket. An ignition switch assembly has four positions: Off, On, FSS (short for Fuel, Seat, Storage), and Steering Lock. When the FOB is within range, the switch is activated with a push and a turn. The switch can be removed when it's in the FSS position and used to unlock the fuel tank, the seat, or the saddlebags. If the transponder goes missing while riding, a red warning light goes off above 12 mph if the engine is turned off, the rider has 10 seconds to restart before it disables itself. Losing a transponder would be no different than losing a key (though this system can't be overridden by a locksmith, and requires contacting Kawasaki for a replacement.) If the transponder battery goes low, a meter displays a warning if it goes out, a small key can be pulled out of the unit to operate the bike. The KIPASS system proved to be hugely handy, and after a couple days of use we grew spoiled with the simplicity of not having to mess with a traditional key. A Touring Bike with a Rambunctious Soul Comfort is key when riding the Concours 14, and the smooth revving engine doesn't convey any hints of vibration or strain unless pushed to the upper extremities of its 10,500 rpm power range. In spite of its smoothness and civility, though, the Concours powerplant produces impressive numbers-- 156 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque-- that will satisfy the most power hungry of long distance travelers.
