Kawasaki 1400s

[ohayo]

erm... date?

haha

 

oops. extracted from Facebook straight. On this sunday 18th April 2010. Let me know your interest quick as i need to make reservation.Normally its crowded on weekend

[GuiNNeSS]

haha

says who??

 

u look carefully,

u`re the thread starter, this thread belongs to u man..

hahaha...

 

how long will u be gone from sinkapore?

i`m contemplating gg overseas to find work...

sg is saturated...

don worry about the horses thou, i`ll be riding them for you..

hahaha..

 

Well, Mr Lee did say mine was the first ZZR1400 to roll out of his shop.... I will be gone for years, maybe forever! Where I'm going, theres no place for hypersport or even sportbikes, so gotta downgrade....

 

Anyway, as for your brakes, its normal because the brake pad does not bite onto the entire 'wavy' part of the disc. Best to use original pads to prevent abnormal wear on the brake discs!

Aurium

 

To me the stock 021 pretty ok. Good grip but tendency to loose air as it wears nearer to the limit..........

 

You disk wear could be due to your botak pads, so far got feedback from the other GTR riders using stock pads still ok except to keep an eye on the pads cos a bike of this weight will tend to wear faster.

Help! Help! Help!

 

I've been riding my GTR 14 for more than a yr now but have not done anything to my bike except for normal servicing. Just came back from a trip & now in need of help to do up my bike e.g changing of windshield, exhaust pipe, seat & mount a few accesories but do not which type/brand to change to. Can somebody help me please? Really ur generous & kind help....

You should hang out with Yean then, he will poison you until you jialat jialat!

[Aurium]

i tink it`s pretty hard to get the stock brakes pads.

been using BrakeKing... wears really fast..

now just changed to EBC... hope will be better..

 

P.S i thought i was the last stock GTR in sg...

seems like i got a fren... ( in stock ) hahaha..

 

andrew,

well, i also thought that the stocks are great,

wait til u try out the PR2..haha..

then u`ll feel a contrast, at least i did..

hehe.. or maybe it`s just `feel`

but mileage wise, PR2 are much better.. definately..

 

Yean,

is it for the 14s? or with other bikes?

what i meant was to have a kawa 14s outing..

so that we can know more kakhis and posion ourselves

hahahah...

The poison will run deeper if you mix around with these guys. Suggest you start saving up.....

What I did was order the pads way in advance, rather than last minute. At least I know when my pads blew I got a set ready. Why not you just organise one 1400s outing rather than wait for someone to do it?

 

My set of PR2's waiting for me since Mar 10. Will change it before the big trip.

I wouldn't mind if the prices r approriate... If not ar, 1 mth eat grass... Cos I believe it's time for me to unleash my beast... Would be nice if someone can help me...

[CMYRS]

Am looking to change as a set... Cos rear already 50% gone.....

 

ok, let me know when ure ready, I will swap as well.

 

 

P.s Back to the wheel,

 

i tink the stock tires are pretty lousy..

fast wear and poor grips...

any change will be significant over the old tires..

 

just a side note. my discs are worn out too, actually kinda surprised too..

each side is almost 0.5 mm worn on each side..

hmmmm... got meet up then i show u all..

but it`s like really kua zhang...

 

stilll tinking should i do a valve clearance at 40 000 km??

only 1.5 years old lehz...

 

galfer seems to be one of the few stocking discs for the gtr

nice and flowery, check it out.

all the things you mentioned i have changed already. hahahah....

 

hmmmm... you should go for things that will improve road safety first. Comestics later. I have spent 10k on accessories already. Corbin seats and stuffs being the most expensive wan.

 

Perhaps you can go for a pair of HID conversion kits. Low beam halogen. High beam HID. Works superbly well on NSHW and really dark dark road.

[Aurium]

haha..

 

don say i nv change anything hor..

i changed a set of tires,

plugs and air filter already...

 

not to mention EO and oil filter as well..

hahahaha..

[Aurium]

ok, let me know when ure ready, I will swap as well.

[MizieBB]

Number one safety improvement will be MOAR POWER!

I will list down the items you can change and you determine for yourself:

 

1. Swap the Bazooka to a aftermarket. Remus/LV (legal) Akrapovic/2 bros (illegal)

2. Swap you windscreen to a bigger piece. MRA/Ermax/Original Kawa

3. Change you seat to a aftermarket. Corbin/Rusell.

4. Install a PC V for fuel management.

5. Swap you plastic fan to a alu fans. Muzzy

6. Swap you stock shocks to a aftermarket. Ohlins/Hyperpro

7. Fill in yourself................... Depends on what you want....

If more pwr = Safer

 

Then u prob had one of the safest bikes by Kawa.

Actually, that is not far from the truth. I feel much safer on my ZX14 than any other bike I've ridden.

so have u decided on your down under replacement?

 

must be tough having to find another to suit both function and desire

I think the biggest change is touring style. Malaysia must be the last country in the world where one can ride sportbikes properly, we're so lucky!

 

Imagine cruising along at 110km/h cross interstate distances, no faster! I don't know if I can handle it.

[Aurium]

P.S really glad have NSHW if not then probably i`ll be on HD already...

haha..

hey man,

thanks for the offer,

i tink my discs still can use..

 

just tt maybe i`ll need to look out for parts soon..

am thinking of making a trip to KL to look for part, accessories.

saw tons of GTRs and ZX 14 up there..

i`m sure they have some specialist shop supporting these bikes..

 

anyone know where these msia bikers frequent?

i`m sure it`s near KL/ipoh as i always see them there..
