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.

Kawasaki Confirms New Z1000 Arriving at 2013 EICMA Show

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Kawasaki confirmed it will introduce a new Z1000 on Nov. 5 during the 2013 EICMA show in Milan. Team Green has been running a teaser campaign for the new Z for a couple of weeks now, so this isn’t exactly surprising news, except to confirm the new model will continue to use the Z1000 designation.

Kawasaki Reveals Supercharged Inline-Four Engine

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Kawasaki announced it is developing what it calls the world’s first supercharger developed by a motorcycle manufacturer. The giant Japanese company called on its extensive experience in working with turbine engines, and distilled the technology for motorcycle applications, showing a supercharged Inline-Four engine at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. No details were given on the size of the sample engine, though diagrams included in Kawasaki’s patent applications for motorcycle superchargers include one image that looks vaguely similar to the Ninja ZX-14R.

Mobile tea-urn

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This steam powered motorcycle (not a bicycle, 'cos it don't have no pedals), could be perfect for you if you like a brew at short notice on your Sunday ride. Built in 1894, it's about to be auctioned and is expected to reach a world record price (for a kettle). It uses a coal furnace to super-heat water into steam which is fed into a small engine.
