Brakes
Filed Oct 5, 2017

ABS/LINKED BRAKES HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE REAR BRAKE LEVER HAS INCONSISTENT TRAVEL AND OCCASIONALLY PULSATES MAKING EFFECTIVE BRAKING IMPOSSIBLE. THE FRONT BRAKES WILL ALSO ACTIVATE INCONSISTENTLY WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN THE REAR BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSING STEERING VIBRATION. KAWASAKI HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL EARLY 2015- CONCOURS BIKES AND EVEN ATTEMPTED TO RETROFIT A 2016 ABS MODULE TO MY 2014 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. KAWASAKI WAS UNABLE TO RETROFIT THE ABS MODULE AND REPLACED THE WHOLE SYSTEM BUT THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED. HTTPS://WWW.MECHANICADVISOR.COM/PROBLEMS/KAWASAKI/2012/CONCOURS-14
