has any body had one fitted   was it any good or make any diffrence  to how the bike performed,,,,,,,,,

[jenros]

hi mate, there one on mine!!!!
goes like poop off a shovel.
it was on there when i bought it,its got a remax end can,,,had been fitted with a dyno run (about 8 i think) to get it perfect!!,
the guy i bought it off was a original petrol head,,,was a bmw technician,,,,,he said the gtrs have a flat spot at blarr,blarr,blarrr,rpm give more torque at lower revs,,,and this n that n this,,,,,by now i was losing the will to live!!!
so i said just give me the keys mate,,,15 mins later it was MINE!
does 58/59 per gal at a steady 80ish,
only tried a 10 plate,standard from a dealer,an only rode in gently,,so cant really comment on this other than what i have experianced,,
im sure some of the regulars on here will able to put you right though!

Had one on my 08. Well worth it

[Hans]

Not at all... why? Ab fabric is quite good.....

[O.C.]

I've never had any flat spots on any of my GTRs

All have been fitted with aftermarket pipes Akrapovic on the first two and two brothers on the current bike

I don't think I need any more power as I'm not good enough to get 100% outa what it already has

There are 2 tune-up methods for the GTR.
1- Remove the secondary butterflies, fit an aftermarket exhaust and a Power Commander (3 or 5).
2- Send your ECU to Guhl Motors in the USA and they will re-flash it for you and at the same time remove the 155Mph limiter from the 2010- bikes.

Both methods will result in a few BHP gain at the top end, but most importantly will give you some 20+ Lbft at very low RPM which makes the bike much smoother to ride.
Yes, you will take a small hit in Mpg but from what they say on the US forums it's not much.

Have I done these,... no. I wanted to wait until my warranty expired and then I had no money.
Once I have that kind of disposable income then I will probably go down the Guhl route.

you had better start saving for an increased insurance premium too George

I really dont get it... Need more power? Transfer to ZZR1400... or even better; Hayabusa! 

[keith]

scuse me but can you tell me how it is better to have a busa than a zzr.the busa cannot keep up with the zzr

Go and wash your mouth out,  and then sit on the naughty step 

BTW I think Keith is right 

[keith]

 i believe i am here's mine (till saturday ,its going to a new home, not getting time to ride it,and with the winter on its way ) fastest  production bike at present

These 2 methods don't really give you much more peak power. Maybe a few more HP.
What it does give is more torque at lower RPM which makes it ride smoother and and accelerate harder.
I could care less about speed but I am a big acceleration junkie.

I love the colour of your ZX14 Keith ! The ones here in South Africa is a different green ( very similar to yours ) and with a very SILLY attempt of a flame job on the bottom fairing. ( Why on earth they thought that this would look good is beyond me ).
I took one for a test ride last week and I tell you, compared to my old ZX1400, this one is the business !!!! I was tempted to trade the GTR for this one but then decided against it when I thought of the comfort etc etc.
But, a stonking bike it is though !!!!

hi deon i have seen pics of the bike you are referingb to,and i agree the decals look totally out of place,this collour green is stunning especially when the sun hits it.i have had previuos zzr's but i agree with you these ride corner and go!!!!!!much better.they are also more comfortable .but not as much as the gtr.

[2kwacks]

keith.. have you sold the zzr1400 you recently bought? if I remember correctly.. thought I asked you to give me first option
