Good for you! I'm glad you got the right filter. And at a good price, too. I know I paid too much for mine, but I had the pump assembly apart and I didn't want to wait. I wanted it right now. I get like that sometimes.

I e-mailed them and this was the response:
. I checked our files this morning, and the ZX14R is one of the few bikes that we do not modify fan temperatures engagement on.
Most manufacturers set them around 213-218F, and we reduce them to 205. Kawasaki had the foresight to do this from the factory on these bikes!

jdw, sorry I gave you the wrong information. I was riding in slow traffic and when I stopped at a redlight I noticed the fans were running and the temperature showed 196. They must've been running for a while and I didn't notice until I stopped and I could hear them. I suppose they were about ready to turn off at that temperature.

SO I got my ECU back from the reflash. Nels, or his guy, said is had a decent fuel map but the timing map was old and wrong. They update both the fuel and timing maps with the latest for this setup
Drove the bike to work today, didn't notice much in the morning commute traffic but a few thoughts:
1. on-off throttle seems smoother
2. Shifting both up and down "seems" much smoother - don't understand this but the sensation is like I changed oil w/ new Motul 300V - really smooth and easy

Rook,
They did tell me some info that might be part of the cause. They said because of the new ignition mapping they added, the engine braking would be significantly less than with the old pos map CBLAST had pasted in. The downshift blips are noticeably smoother on the bike engine and structure dynamics. My first thought was - WOW that's nice!

...very! I'm not complaining about my Gen1's gearbox but I could imagine it being smoother at high rpm between 2nd and third. It feels perfectly slick with the quickshifter (as long as the shift goes in) so I think the QS ignition cut is what has improved it. Maybe they do something similar by flash.
