With performance inspired by the Kawasaki Ninja sportbike, the 2022 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS Touring Motorcycle is the perfect touring platform for ABS sports, capable of traversing valleys, eating motorways, and navigating city streets. The Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorbike is the heart of the Ninja ZXTM-14R sport bike, which adds extra functionality, technology, and luxury extras for a fantastic sports tour experience. Concours14 ABS comes with 36 months limited warranty and a 1352cc inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (VVT), Kawasaki Advanced Coaxial Braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS, electrically adjusted windshield, standard hardening Saddle bag, and a stiff Monocoque frame.
2022 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS Touring Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Dual Throttle Valves
To deliver a high power level, the late-model sports bike sometimes comes with large bored throttle bodies. When a rider quickly opens the throttle on an oversize diameter throttle, however, complete torque response can be critical. Dual throttle valve technology was developed to enhance engine performance while reducing engine response.
Models including dual throttle valves contain two throttle valves per cylinder: In additionally to the main valves, which are directly connected to the throttle grip and controlled by the rider, the ECU opens and locks the second set of valves that Intake contains airflow accurately. To ensure a natural, linear response. When the air passing through the throttle bodies becomes smooth, combustion efficiency and strength increase.
Economical Riding Indicator
Kawasaki models can reach the highest fuel efficiency level thanks to the management of high-precision electronic engines. Throttle usage, gear selection, and other factors controlling the rider, however, significantly affect fuel consumption. The Economical Riding Indicator is a contains that shows when current riding situations are using petrol. It continuously examines fuel usage regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position, or other riding conditions. An all-new “ECO” indicator appears on the instrument panel’s LCD screen when the fuel consumption for a particular speed is low. Fuel consumption can be condensed by riding with the “ECO” signal.
ECU
When the Fuel Efficiency Assistance mode is turned on, the ECU moves to a lean fuel map where fuel economy is preferred in ignition timing and fuel injection. This mode picks low fuel consumption over engine response or power, aimed at improving fuel efficiency when riding at a steady speed. Running the same amount of fuel for longer is a significant advantage when riding in places where gas stations are rare or when traveling across the continent.
KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) (1-mode)
The rear wheel can rotate when it is sharp on a moving surface (i.e. when it turns faster than the front wheel). The KTRC was designed to reduce wheel spin, which could result in the loss of motorcycle control. Kawasaki’s early traction control technology prevents the rear tire from slipping, as ABS helps prevent the wheels from slipping when applying the brakes. Knowing that the system will intervene to avoid unexpected wheel rotation when, for example, the floor suddenly falls off during a tour gives riders a great sense of security.
K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS
K-ACT ABS is a state-of-the-art anti-lock braking system that prevents tires from locking up when applying the brakes. However, the K-ACT ABS was designed for touring vehicles weighing more than 300 kilograms (661 lb) – and without passengers or luggage.
K-ACT ABS combines front and rear brakes with the regular ABS function. It monitors the speed of the vehicle along with the brake force of the rider on both the front and back sides while guaranteeing very efficient braking while maintaining the stability of the chassis.
Kawasaki’s Monocoque frame
Kawasaki’s Monocoque frame is a hollow alloy of aluminum elements. It was designed by Kawasaki engineers to use the engine as a permanent component, resulting in the rigidity of the chassis not only from the frame but also from the combination of the frame and the engine. The hollow box-style structure wraps the engine from the top, connecting the engine and the front and rear suspension sections. Its main component, in addition to being a lightweight material, also acts as an air cleaner box and battery box, from which parts can be removed to save more weight. The chassis can also be much smaller because the frame does not run under or with the engine.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
It is crucial to maintain proper tire air pressure as it has a significant effect on the performance of the motorcycle. Tire air naturally leaks out over time, so it’s a good idea to check the tire pressure regularly. During the ride, the tire pressure monitoring system constantly scans the tire pressure (using sensors mounted on the air valves on each wheel). It reflects the current pressure on the motorcycle’s tool panel.
Although the tire’s air pressure changes dramatically as the tire warms, the tire pressure monitoring system is responsible for this and can reduce misunderstandings and misleading alarms to 20 ° C (68 ° F). Calculates the pressure.
