1minerman, I suggest you ride your 14 through some corners now with flies in and see if it doesn't jerk a tad from close throttle to openning it just a crack. You can even try cutting the throttle and easing back on while riding a straght line. I seem to recall that mine a small jump flies in and flies out. So touchy that the added sensitivety of a bare hand on the throttle improved the control over a gloved hand. For my riding so far I don't cut throttle to 100% closed on corners (unless it's an emegency situation). It doesn't become an issue to get back on it because I'm never all the way off it. Seems like this keeps the suspension more compressed and the weight distributed evenly for better cornering
I have ridden it thru alot of corners, and have never had no jerkiness, honest very smooth, comparing to all the other bikes i have owned, this is the smoothest, especially to have close to 200hp..I guess those double crank balancers, Kruz was talking about, really work.
I do close my throttle all the way when slowing for a corner, especially when jamming down thru the gears, (why do you keep your throttle open while downshifting?), but once i start to open the throttle, i continue all the way out of the corner under acceleration, after the weight is transferring to the rear, I would never chop the throttle after opening it.
But I want to thank everyone for their input and 411 on the flies out in the '08...
After reading what everyone has said, I think I am going to keep mine.(at least until the warranty is expired, getting ready to buy 2 more years).
I can see the pros of removing that obstruction from the intake runners,for the ones that have removed theirs, and after the warranty expires, i will remove mine, but for no more than is gained, not going to take them out, that way i won't have to put them back, if something happens.
I can clutch her up in 3rd, with just a little throttle, so I believe I will leave the flies in, but if u had told me that i was going to get the increase that the 1st gen gets, then warranty or no warranty, those butterflies would be wind chimes.
Here is a little info on my map though I am actually running the Muzzy map for after-market air filter, and NO FLIES.
I tried every dynojet map(from the web site), for the 14, that was for a complete exhaust, even if it wasn't for a Muzzy exhaust. I also run the Muzzy map for flies and for without(from Muzzy). I run each of these maps for at least 100 miles,(UNLESS it was immediately apparent that it wasn't going to work, ex.throttle lag, ALOT of decel pops with a couple of the maps, noticible lack of power.. The best map out of all for my set-up was the Muzzy map for flies out..(Why is this, since my flies are in???)
Dogo was nice enough to send me one for my set-up, but i haven't had a chance to compare, to see if it is the same as one that has already been tried, hope it is different..THANKS Dogo...
I was getting ready to get a custom tune, and the PCV came out, so i am waiting to see if it is going to be the icing on the cake. If it is then, no custom tune and i will use that $250 for the PCV...So Dogo,Roman and evryone else trying to figure the ZX14 and the PCV out...Thanks and Good LUck!!!
