2talltim Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Didn't realize the zx14 had the same info screen as the C14. That's cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yup. Same powerplant as well, only the C14 is derated and shaft driven so the primary is different. Believe the fuel tanks are possibly the same too? Not sure whether they share the same forks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C14 has variable valve timing too not sure if the zx has that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the gen 1 zx14's. Haven't researched the Gen 2 or 3 to know about the 1441cc version's valve timing. That may be where some of the deration comes into play on the C14 as well with the different valvetrain, and it's likely that only the block/cyl's are the same but the trans and top ends vary between the bikes?? Mine at stock gearing, and at 80mph/6th, the tach is about 4k - but that wouldn't equate to the Connie's final drive ratio since it's surely different due to the shaft drive.

Helmutt Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 No longer for sale. Had a little mishap when the owners buddy dumped it. He's fine, bike isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 That sucks! Hopefully, he is OK. It looks like he tried it out as an adventure bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I dont know the details whether or not the friendship remains, but he can't even afford to hand the owner his deductible. Sucks for my buddy to have to learn such a hard lesson. That bike was tits and now it's likely totalled. We believe he went into a corner too hot.I know if a friend of mine dumped my bike, walked away unscathed, and couldn't hand me the deductible....we'd still be friends....but his jaw would be wired shut for a while.

Tpoppa Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 There is a VERY select group of people that I would let ride either of my bikes. They are very skilled riders. If there ever was a mishap they would make it right before I ever had to ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 They are very skilled riders. If there ever was a mishap they would make it right before I ever had to ask. I would never ride a bike I couldn't afford to pay for. And I would INSTANTLY, before I even asked for an ambulance, tell the owner I'd pay for it, if I ever rode someone else's bike and dumped it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
