Hey, I guess I’ll start off with a little introduction,
My name is Derek, I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I work as a miner 21 hours north of here. I'm new to the site, but not bikes. I've had many bikes in my life. Mainly off-road, but in the last couple years, I have been venturing into on-road bikes. Had a few 600cc, 750cc, 900cc and a ZX1000 “Crotch rockets”. I figured it was time to join the big boys club and get the ZX14. Picked up a 06 ZX14R about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have put on about 3500KM in the 2 weeks and loved every second of it. Longest day trip so far was about 870KM with minimal issues(Building up the saddle sores for my long trips(Getting used to a new seat)). I am planning on driving the bike to work on my rotations. 1900KM 1 way. Only stops will be for gas and food. I'll post pix of the bike when I get a chance.
I am also having a minor low RPM power issue in 1st gear on takeoffs. I have been searching this website and a few other ZX14 sites with no successful results. I did find one post with a similar issue, but not the same. I'll post a link to the problem I’m having after I start the thread in the proper section.
