Nice to see the ZX14 thread finally come alive.

 

Do monitor the oil level when running in the bike, check when the bike is cold. My bike burned quite abit of oil in the first 5000km before settling down, and now the oil level doesn't drop at all even after long trips and trackdays.

MCW.. Mm... sounds a little like some wrestling federation.. Ha! I'm planning to take my bike out on the weekend of the king's birthday.. Planning to bring her out to Krabi or Khao Sok.. Hopefully the weather permits..

 

And where did you get your pipes from? It's just a slip-on, ya?

 

 

Neo:

 

Just wondering if you know anything on ZX-14 and gasohol? Gasohol is abundant here in Thailand.. Wonder if it'll ruin the engine..

those are high mount, very cool look. I bought low mount because of saddlebags.

The bike will run safely on up to 30% ethanol, but only if the effective octane level is 95 and above.

 

I keep safe and pump 97 where available, but my bike had no problems with Gasohol the last time I was in thailand.

i cant believe how many gtr's i see in msia

maybe its quicker n easier to get one from there n bring it into spore?

 

if i'm not wrong, theirs is the 137BHP.

the GTRs here are 155BHP.

[kaozie]

don tink that there are so many GTRs in SG right??

 

i personally only know 1....

and seen on the road only 1 other...

 

anyone knows how many are on SG roads now?

 

 

one hand hoping for more ( easier parts, larger support group)

one hand hoping for less ( more exclusive )

 

congrats on your new ride!!!

[kaozie]

Guys GTR owner,

any idea how much the rear tyre cost in SG. Need to change if the price is right cos i going north in Dec.

 

just changed both front and rear at 9000km.

got the Pilot Road 2CT from HKL at S$400++

[kaozie]

Guys, I just wanted to say that I live in Telok Blangah and everyday on my way to work, or meeting my friends, I would have to walk out of a multi-storey carpark to get to the bus stop and there in the carpark, I would have this black beauty of a GTR1400 just parked there in full view to admire.

 

To the owner of this bike, if you know who you are and are reading this, I really admire your ride

 

i'm at Telok Blangah also... but mine is always covered...

at 300kg, this is 1 heavy machine...

the front was totally smooth and my rear got a nail, so i decided to change both...

[Aurium]

thx kaozie...

really nice meeting u again...

 

ahhahaa

seriously, wait til i run in finish, please bring me out to tour......

 

anyway, i might wanna go KL to buy some spares sometime...

if we`re free, wanna go there to shop and stock up on common waer and tear items? like break pads and filters??

 

hope to know more ppl riding the same bike...

least our numbers are so few... and we need the same parts!

[GuiNNeSS]

Hey guys, I'm in need of some brake pads soon too.

 

I'm not confident of aftermarket ones, so I'd prefer to get Kawasaki stock ones, but they cost $250~! ( 8-pads )

[Aurium]

we use the same pads??

 

haha..

anyway u guys, GTR,ZZR 14 peep wanna have any meetups?

hmmm...

[GuiNNeSS]

From my observation, same brakes and pads (Nissin 4-pot calipers, one pad per piston)

 

The biggest ever ZX14/GTR14 'meetup' i've ever seen was oddly enough, at Thai border.

[Aurium]

tt`s where they belong...

 

GTRs and ZXs don belong in SG roads.

haha

[xixy]

Anyone has any connection in getting custom chrome rims for the ZX14? Cost of exporting from the US is mind-boggling..

[frenchbiker]

 

anyway u guys, GTR,ZZR 14 peep wanna have any meetups?

hmmm...

 

So Aurium, what color is your GTR?

I am OK to meet up sometimes with Neo, Kaozie and others riding, ZZR and GTR

[CMYRS]

we use the same pads??

have u been doing alot of stopppieeeess?

bald rear at 9000km is norm for such a pwrful heavy bike but the front completely smooth?

 

just changed both front and rear at 9000km.

got the Pilot Road 2CT from HKL at S$400++

 

 

$400++? are u using the 190 or the 180 rear?

 

if i'm not wrong, theirs is the 137BHP.

the GTRs here are 155BHP.

 

 

y is theirs 137hp? there dont have strict emissions in msia and would need the hp more than us i guess? 20hp is a big difference.

[Aurium]

i`m sure there are a few more ppl who just got their bikes these few days..

anyone out there????

 

anybody would like to organise one?

or shall we have a simple one by the yishun dam 1st?

[kaozie]
