Awesome. You're a legend. For all the Concours owners out there - thank you so much for your detail and your camera work on this. So many owners / coucours's out there and this is what everyone's searching youtube for. Looking forward to the next few videos. Thank you so much!
I had a ‘12 and broke the lock box perhaps the 2nd day I had it not realizing it was electronic. DOH! Actually made access more convenient for the 10 years I had the bike. Changing plugs and checking valves, I DO NOT miss!
Of course. It's been on several out-of-state adventures since. No issues except it runs better and stronger, but that's likely because I did a throttle body synchronization (off-camera, it's impossible to video that, can't hardly see it myself). The TB balance was off a bit.
Yes. A set of small angled feeler gauges would help. Regular ones are more difficult to get a feel, but my main set I bent the tips at 45 degrees (approximately). Since, I have obtained a small set but it’s hit or miss whether they’ll work best on a particular engine due to clearance and general access. In other words some spots the small feelers work good others a regular set works better. So diversity and variety of tools available helps. Def need an inch lb torque wrench as well. And a good work light. It’s tight and dark in there. Cheers.
Hi, Thank you for making these videos it's a huge help. I recently picked up a high miles 2015 Concours 14 in non running condition. Clutch is super hard to press and when shift from neutral to 1st gear it shuts off. Is there anyway I can email you for help? I don't know much about these machines but highly eager to learn. Best regards, Khan
in 24 minutes you wasted 20 minutes on your humor, your dog, you life, past bad repairs, redundancy, is there a minimum time limit to making a youtube video? Painful shade tree mechanic opinions, and past life lore.
Ya know, perhaps you’re right. Why don’t you give me a link to your UA-cam channel so I can benefit from your obvious superior knowledge and superior talent? Oh, that’s right. You don’t have one because it’s easy to bitch but hard to do. Isn’t it.

Mine is problematic also. I just lube it with silicone and beat it with my fist occasionally. Then it complies.
Gear position lever binding
Great video, where I can get the part remover strobe light? Thanks!
Saturday Night Fever online store. Just look for the Travolta signature series.
Shift return spring could be loose
"The bikes so big it's so big". Me coming from VTX1800 and Suzuki C109rt which weighs 750 plus. Guys need to grow a pair.
Sell me that strobe light please!🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha. Disco style.
Did you finish it up any issues on startup

Are there any special tools that help?

Great video 👍….. is this the same engine as the zzr1400 or zx14 ? Thanks
Basically yes. I’m not sure about the head as to valves and cams but same package.

Gee, why don’t you just say something about my mother.
