If pussy mode cuts power like the Verseys did, they will be fine for learners :lol:

It struggled to redline :lol:

I dont know why they have the lesser power mode, the power is so smooth and predictable if you cant figure out they you shouldnt be giving it more throttle you probably shouldnt be riding a ZX-14R ;) The KRTC control etc works too

Nice bike, stooopid fast, handles nicely through the 16k's of twisties on the Putty, glad I dont own one ;)

For a bike so big, why did they need to put the seat 6 inches from the foot pegs? It might be worth riding one if they ever made them for men. :P

Picked up my new baby last week.

ECU has been sent to ECUWEST to be flashed.

Pipes arrived yesterday and fender kit and sliders arrived today.

Hopefully PCV will get here next week in time to receive the ECU back, then she's going on the dyno.

A couple of photos (before/after)
