yeah 8 years ago and i am changing out my battery on a 2016 concours its the same as yours , i cant even get my bike out steering lock when the battery died .i also did notice you started putting it back together wrong but it only go,s in one way so if you get it in and the covers go back on then you probably do it right and i dont think the cable extender's are worth it , if you start your bike every 2months the battery will be good for a few years , anyway I mean who doesn't want to start there 1400 kawi . p.s i am going with the lithium iron phosphate now a days.
If you turn the negative terminal 90 degrees anticlockwise, the cable runs directly through the opening in the battery cover, as shown in the workshop manual. The way you have installed it adds an unnecessary bend in the cable putting excess pressure on the cable and negative post. See 'ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-27' IN THE WORKSHOP MANUAL. Gen 2 version.
I thought you were going to show a complete Delkevic exhaust with the header?
Damn, someone's already been in and stripped my bolts 😅
Thanks for this video!
what year is your Concourse
nevermind. :)
What kind of engine gaurds are those? Where can I get them?
Thanks for this. Always helpful to see something done beforehand 👍😎
Very well explained and good tips. Thanks
Thank you for getting to this straight to the point straight to the point😊😮
Sounds so good
Merci, très bon job!
Should’ve did a straight pipe start😢up
Thanks for the video, I have a 2008 gtr and I’m going to fit a optimiser lead to the battery, it looks straightforward but any suggestions on the installation, Cheers 👍
Thank you for this, this is easier than I thought. I did this on my old ZX14 and it required taking all of the panels off that side to get to the battery.
Hope you did'nt scratch your paint.
The battery would have shipped from manufacturer to Battery Mart with the acid in container(s), in the acid box you first remove. Battery Mart would have installed the acid before shipping to you, and put the acid box back in as it doubles as packing material for the battery.
Yes you're right.
Thanks! May be battery change time soon for me too. Very helpful!
Glad it helped
you have to wear protection in California because there’s a lot of unlicensed, uninsured drivers not to mention the infatuation with Tesla Auto Pilot so people develop bad driving habits and poor awareness, especially with the reliance on blind spot monitoring on side view mirrors which aren’t 100% perfect
the bike is very good and its battery is original just like mine but here in Brazil it's hard to find one that has a CCA of 240 but I'm almost buying one from motobatt that has a CCA 200.
It's a great bike
Do you recommend the training? How was the super tenere?
Hi Tim, the training was good, I don't know what your experience is off-road but they do start from scratch. If you're sleeping in the bunkhouse, don't expect any luxury. It's basic but functional. One guy ended up sleeping in his car. I brought earplugs. It was pushing 100F when I was there so it was a long couple of days but good fun. The instructors are patient and make it fun. If you go, wear bug spray. a LOT of it. and never go out in anything other than long sleeves and long pants. I got my arms bitten to hell. The food is amazing, really really good, they have a professional chef and it shows, very good meals. People had flown in from all over the US, Jamaica and even a young lady from England came over just for the training. The Super Tenere handled great. It's a big heavy bike but they instill confidence in you. The only downside I found on the Tenere was that you cannot turn off the ABS. In some maneuvers this caused me some issues. As soon as I got home I did the mod to make the ABS switchable, video coming soon.
Good afternoon TBO. Currently in the market for a gtr/con 14(gen1/2) or S10 (gen1/2). Leaning more towards the GTR/Con as tis near half the price. I noticed you have the bike over 6 years now. Do you intend to do a video of ownership? Pros&Cons of both even.. Thanks for sharing your content.. Darren
Hi Darren, Unfortunately I sold the bike in early 2022. I just hadn't ridden it much with Covid as I was working from home. I put 40k miles on the bike in 5 years. It never missed a beat. I had the major services done by a local dealer and I did the minor services myself. I would highly recommend the bike. It was great fun to ride even on horrific commutes in LA. If you get a well maintained one, I don't think you would be disappointed.
Good stuff! Getting ready to take a trip and was looking for a way to mount a GPS.
Have a great trip...
Nice vid! I have the same bike and have a question about the handlebars. Are they original of after market. Your hand position is way different then mine. Ride safe👍🏻
Hi Sean, I'm not sure on the bars. They are the ones that it came with from the previous owner, it may have bar risers fitted now that I've looked at it.
Can you lane split on this motorcycle?
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yes, I used to lane split on the Concours every day on my commute. I became a good judge of gap size vs the width of the bike.
Are you able to lane split even when traffic is really bad?
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yes, I lane split when the whole freeway is standing still. I slow down to a sensible speed and really keep my eyes open for signs that someone is going to do something stupid. I’m not one of those guys you see doing 80mph between cars when the cars are doing 10mph. That’s a recipe for a trip to ER.
Hi, thanks for the info I am thinking about getting a concours to. Are you a fan of any of the EPL teams?
Indeed, a very helpful video. It saves so much time when you've something like this to view BEFORE starting a job 🙂
Hi Dave, I'm glad you found it useful
Thanks. Helpful
Glad it helped
After watching all the complicated video , thanks man wow how easy that was . Perfect explanation . Every single video I watched need to remove the calipers, thanks god for this video. I just replaced my ZX14 2012 from brakes @20 minuets.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it useful.
The bike sounds amazing i have the same exhaust on my bike
Thanks for posting this video, even 2 years ago. Ordering the same setup for my Concours 14. I prefer the look of the slightly shorter silencer.
Thanks mate! Very nice windscreen!
A month after buying my new 14 replaced the screen, got a V Screen, huge differance, not perfect but well worth the change. FYI- IM 6 4", if your 5 10" there'd be no issue.
Please make a how to use video ..tons and tons of videos on how to install it BUT ! I have not seen ANY videos on how to use the damm thing ! You probably whould be the first one to make one witch whould be great for your suscribers rattings ...
Another question, tire choices for the Kawasaki and the rear brake change? Waiting for yours!
Just subbed! Excellent vids on the Kawasaki!
Damn that sounds good!
What a great instructional video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this I just did mine off this video..🏍️
You are literary a lifesaver! I was worried about doing it myself, but I see it is pretty simple, I am ordering them now and will do them next weekend. Thank you sir
Thanks for watching. Glad you found the video useful. Let me know how it goes...
GREAT T Y SIR FROM C C TX
Thank you.
This system is better priced then the two brothers exhaust and they sound fairly close to one another, ?
It certainly a good price. I've never owned a 2 Brothers so I cant comment on that.
Have you had any problem with the side case getting distorted from the exhaust?
I've had the exhaust on for over 12 months and I ride about 2 hours per day. I've not seen any distortion yet.
Hi, haven't you had any kind of problem with the heat from the exhaust at the bottom of the bag?
Nice video. After reading the comments I now fear about the quality of the speakers as I am only concerned about the navigational aspects and not music. Having said that I am again not sure about the sound quality and if I will be able to hear the navigations since I own a Harley Davidson which came with the screaming eagles exhaust which is quite loud. I will need to keep seeing the navigations on the google map as well (with vibrations on the handle) which negates the whole purpose of the bluetooth.
Hi, thanks for watching. The audio is fine for Navigation, I do wear a full face helmet though. If you are wearing an open face with extra loud pipe... who knows. Have you tried asking on a HD forum?
Thanks for the video, just about to order one for my Triumph Trophy. From another Brit in western Canada!! Happy Xmas!!!
Hi, thanks for watching. I'm still enjoying my Delkevic. I've put 15 thousand miles on mine now. Happy Boxing day.!!!
Slick! mine still have the factory pads on it. 9200 miles on a 2 month old bike. Not on the brakes much but will come back to this video when it comes time to swap them out. facebook.com/groups/UltimateConnieClub/ we are putting together a concourse ride in January. Check it out
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found the video useful
I think I saw you on the 57 south on Friday 1/12/18.
Great work thanks for sharing. How many miles on the bike now mate?
Great video thinking really hard about the GTR. Safe riding...
I was wondering if you have added the lights to your case? From what I read on Phils Farkels a bypass is required. I use a Maxia 4 case on multiple bikes and on each rack I have installed a Givi rack that I can added the light adapter, but I hate the Givi rack for this bike and would hate to drill a hole through my case for a bypass.
Great video and sound. 2 questions; 1. Did it melt the saddlebag? 2. Do you get any popping on decel?
Rude Vegas Hi, thanks for watching. No it hasn't melted the bag and I've had it on for nearly a year and I commute over 2 hours a day in CA heat. Yes it does pop a little bit on deceleration, but it's not excessive and only between 3000 and 2700 rpm.
no handlebar remote?
