Recall: Kawasaki Concours 14 Police Bikes

By 5 Comments

Police officers take note, your Kawasaki Concours 14 patrol bike might be up for a recall. In total, 194 units of Kawasaki’s police Concours 14 and 14ABS motorcycles may have electrical problems, as the added police accessories may cause the 30 amp main fuse to blow, and the wiring harness may chafe, leading to a short-circuit.

Because blowing the main 30 amp fuse will cause the engine to stall, and thus increase the risk of a crash, Kawasaki is recalling these units (made between May 8, 2008, to February 20, 2013), and filed a recall with NHTSA.

Recall: Kawasaki Concours 14 Police Edition

As you may know, police interceptors are outfitted with a bevy of additional electrical system, and in the case of the Kawasaki Concours 14, the extra accessories may cause the bike’s main 30 amp fuse to blow. In addition to this, the added wiring harness for the police equip may chafe, which could result in a short-circuit, which again could cause the main 30 amp fuse to blow.

Kawasaki seems to be the only Japanese manufacturer making product enhancements this model year, and with their flagship sport-tourer, the Concours 14, the Brand in Green has finally brought traction control to their line-up (we’re not counting the ZX-10R’s quasi-traction-control system). The Concours 14 gets other updates as well, including a redesigned fairing system, larger windscreen, and a second-generation linked ABS. Sadly though, no word on night-vision for the 2010 model.
