2015 KAWASAKI CONCOURSE

****** This unit is located at Central Mass Powersports****** Overview
The 2015 ZG1400EFF / Concours 14 ABS is a sport-touring motorcycle: combines high power, long-distance comfort, and lots of tech/features.
Derived from Kawasaki’s ZX-14R platform, sharing its 1352 cc inline-4 engine (though tuned more for torque and usable power across a tourist-friendly RPM range).
Key Features & 2015 Updates
Here are the upgrades and refinements introduced for 2015 compared to previous years:
New first gear ratio – makes starting from stop and low-speed maneuvering easier.
Steering stem seal – redesigned to reduce friction and make steering lighter, especially at low speeds.
Stiffer rear suspension initial settings – better handling when loaded with passenger or baggage.
New seat – sculpted, narrower at front to help shorter riders reach the ground; rear portion is flatter/longer for passenger comfort; double-stitching and anti-slip material.
Electric windshield with adjustable vent – new vent in windscreen (three positions) to reduce buffeting, etc.
Exhaust heat shield improvements – to reduce rider and passenger discomfort when stopped or low speed.
Revised ABS (K-ACT) – linked braking system refinements: reduced front-linked effect when using rear brake (for better low-speed, U-turn feel), dual modes (Standard vs. High Combined) for different riding conditions.
