That’s a total of up to an amazing SIX YEARS of coverage! 2013 Kawasaki Concours 14 1400GTR Features and Benefits 2nd Generation K-ACTK-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled. balanced braking. Designed to complement riders’ applied brake force. K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency. Tetra-lever shaft driveTo ensure that the GTR’s massive torque is transmitted to the tarmac as efficiently as possible. a highly rigid. dual-sided. 4-link swingarm is used. Called the Tetra-Lever. it is designed to offset the lifting or squatting tendency of shaft drives when the throttle is opened and closed. Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)Kawasaki’s first traction control system was designed to provide rider reassurance by facilitating smooth riding on slippery surfaces. The system looks for difference in front and rear wheel speed. When rear wheel spins (i. e. when rear wheel speed is faster than front wheel speed). engine output is controlled to allow the rear wheel to regain grip. Tyre Pressure Monitoring SystemTo warn riders of any tyre pressure irregularities. tyre pressure sensors are fitted as standard equipment. The system allows the rider to monitor tyre pressure while underway. When tyre pressure falls below 220 kPa. a low pressure warning is displayed. The ability to take into account temperature changes and display values recalculated for 20°C helps prevent false warnings when air expands as the tyres warm up. 1. 52cc in-line Four with Variable Valve TimingPower comes from a ZZR1400-based engine tuned for more low and mid-range torque. This liquid-cooled. 16-valve. In-Line Four features variable valve timing for high torque output at low and medium rpm. Economical Riding IndicatorThe Economical Riding Indicator (ECO) appears on the LCD screen to indicate favourable fuel consumption. Paying attention to conditions that result in the icon appearing can assist riders to maximise their fuel efficiency. The rider must ride in a gentle manner: less than 6. 00 rpm. less than 30% throttle. under 100 mph (where permitted) Colour-matched 35-litre panniersThe large-volume panniers are integrally designed to complement the GTR’s overall styling package. The cases are easily detachable. water-resistant and easily hold a full-face helmet. Mounted as close as possible to the bike’s centreline and the bike’s centre of gravity. their lightweight construction was designed to minimise their influence on the bike’s centre of mass. Heated GripsStepless adjustable heated grips are fitted standard. The rotary switch is located close to the rider for easy access with gloved hands. KIPASSKIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) is a master key system that allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch and steering lock. For added security. an immobiliser function is incorporated into the ignition system. Fuel Economy Assistance ModeFuel Economy Assistance Mode can be turned on and off by the rider. Turning on this mode on switches the ECU to a leaner fuel map that prioritises fuel economy over driveability. (Ignition timing and fuel injection are set for maximum fuel efficiency. ) When on. a icon appears on the LCD screen. The rider must ride in a gentle manner: less than 6. 00 rpm. less than 30% throttle. under 100 mph (where permitted) Taller and wider electrically adjustable wind screenThe electrically adjustable windscreen is now 70 mm taller and is also wider at the top. Its increased height allows air passing over the top of the screen to flow smoothly around the rider’s helmet and the wider top portion of the screen results in less wind striking the rider’s shoulders and upper arms. InstrumentsThe GTR's multi-function display now includes an outside air temperature monitor. Other new instrument functions include the K-ACT mode indicator. Economical Riding Indicator. and Fuel Economy Assistance Mode icon. The mode-Select button on the front of the left grip (where the passing button used to be) increases convenience by allowing the rider to change LCD modes without having to take their hand off the handlebar.
