Thanks Dude, still careful on the ZX14 due to the worn out tire, but pretty serious about putting on the 200/55 Michelin pilot power. I want to be able to carve it like on the R1.
My ZX14 has launch control module as well, holds it at 7000 rpm until you drop the clutch. I guess I am well set up for drag racing, already and the previous owner sunk a lot of cash into it, now all I need is a strip and I suppose a spare rear rim with a supply of Shinko drag tires!
Future mods will include more HID up front instead of just the 2 low beam ones and also I think I will put in some white LED markers as the yellow tinge to them compared to the white HID makes them look a bit sickly... and I will be changing the Nitrous button to an arm/go button, as I really do not like not having a horn... honk honk! As said the gearing is 44T in back and I believe -1 up front so she really launches well already, and I have a spare 40T for the back if I really want to take it to 200 mph.
I noticed no Powercommander, so that will be an upgrade eventually to go with the open exhaust, no idea if there is a more open air filter up front, just having fun riding it, and learning "Kawasakese" and learning more about a ZX14, right now all I know is "mommayamaheese" of all types. Do not know if the secondary flies were removed, the power is absolutely instant there is no "wait for it..." power delay, but will check once I research where to look for it... still learning where the battery is!
My R1 is still in pieces, putting on a new high flow radiator, Zero Gravity battery, upgraded brakes from an '02 R1, a newer master cylinder from an '08 R1, "new" used Akra exhaust full titanium 4-1 system on it, and just switching over from the stock rims to the lighter Marchesini rims. My R1 is already probably like 370 lbs from past lightening projects, I will save another 16.5 lbs with the new exhaust, new battery and "new" rims. I hope to be at 370 lbs, and fully fuelled at 400 lbs. The nice thing about the older carb R1s is the gobs of mid-range TQ, and already light weight... R1s got fat as the years progressed.
Besides weight, my goal is to have a nice track/street bike for cheap, another reason to have an older R1 is the abundance of cheap used upgrade parts!
My R1 with friend's 2006 stock ZX14, rode his and decided to trade my Warrior for one 'cause I liked the ride...
