Lost mid range on ZX14 ?

Postby the kid » Wed Feb 27, 2008 4:59 am

Had a Mate call me asking if I had heard of any reports of a mid range issue with ZX14 s . Evidently this bike has just lost it ? The bikes owner isn't getting much response from his local dealer {Echuca} and will probably bring it to Melbourne . Maybe Brighton Kawa , but ?? anyone heared anything ??
Ummmm let me see

I heard the zx14 mid-range was for sale on eBay along with the missing 3000 rpm from the R6 :) ... $50 posted and it's yours.

Sorry Billy, I've not heard anything to this effect. Has he modded the bike at all? Is it a case of the bike having midrange when he first bought it and now having less or simply having none compared to the '07 model? Is his an '07 or '08 model?

It could only be a fueling ratio issue couldnt it?

Maybe he just had a ride on a 9, and now his bike feels inadequate?
