Well, here I am new to this ZX14 thing having recently purchased an '08 which is stock except a pair of Akrapovic slip-ons. I've had fast bikes before but never fast AND torquey. The thing is, I'm hoping there's more. I read about 1-3 gear power wheelies on stock bikes and mine is good for 1st gear one's at best. Plus, I've heard of these things shredding tires at will - yeah, right. The bike has 3500 miles on it and I'm sure nothing is wrong with it but it does seem to me like it runs a bit hot. Fan kicks on quite often even with light riding 3-4000rpm. I've looked into pulling the flies and putting a PC on. My problem is I can't seem to 1. find a consistent answer on the result of running no flies 2. Do I need a PC now with just the Akro's? 3. Is there a map out there that will work for the bike as it sits or after the fly-ectomy?
I'd like to get more power below 3K for the street riding I do but I also want it to rip more on top.
