2007-2013 Kawasaki Concours Models 14 Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF The Kawasaki Concours 14 (also known as the GTR1400 in international markets) is a sport-touring powerhouse born from the legendary ZX-14 superbike platform. Introduced in 2007 for the 2008 model year, the Concours 14 was Kawasakis answer to riders who wanted the performance and technology of a liter-class sportbike combined with legitimate long-distance touring capability. The engine is a detuned version of the ZX-14s massive 1352cc inline-four, modified for broader midrange torque and smoother power delivery -- ideal for carrying rider, passenger, and luggage across continents. Kawasaki equipped the Concours 14 with an advanced shaft drive system (Kawasakis Tetra-Lever), electronic adjustable suspension on certain markets, an integrated hard-luggage system, and an advanced combined braking system. The aluminum monocoque frame provides rigidity for spirited canyon carving while the adjustable windscreen and ergonomic seating position make 500-mile days comfortable. This is a motorcycle that asks no compromises between sport and touring, and its mechanical complexity demands thorough, accurate service information for proper maintenance.
