Technical Help

The members forum, links and Library give you access to live and archived help and knowledge that has been collected in the 25 plus years of the bikes existence. It is like having twenty other mechanics help you with your problems. Tech articles on the ZG1400 C14 appear almost every issue of The Concourier magazine.

Online versions of the club's collection of technical article publications "Best of Chalkdust" for the Concours ZG1000 (C10), and "Chalkdust 2," for the Concours ZG1400 (C14) are available to COG Members in both the Tech Pages and Library
