That's my second too. neutron grey 2008 and now the Black 2012. They wear the Concours 14 out here in Canada. Where it's normally really cold in winter. These days, the normal high should be around 4C. We've had very unseasonably warm 26 last sunday and had the opportunity for a nice 250 miles ride.
Had the opportunity to use the new ECO mode. I'm impressed. Improved 14% over best previous average and the bike is not broken in yet.

Also looking for the newer Service manual for 2012-2012 since I gat my new 2012 on the 16th.

Good day all
I am glad to say that i am the proud owner of a 2008 gtr and while searching for a service and spec manual i stumbeld across your forum,thank you for allowing me to join the group and i hope to have a couple of good chats with all you guys and hope to learn a lot about my gtr on this forum

I have the Acrobat version of the service manual for model years 2007-2009 if you are interrested and have a big limit in your emails. It's a 22Mb file. Also there is a service update that is 44 Mb (don't remember why it's so big...maybe colour)

With my new 2012, still under 400 miles on it. I got it on the 16th. I had a 2008 before and I can tell you I appreciate the ECO mode. My numbers with the eco mode are at least 15% better than on my 2008. Converting my leters per 100 km to our old miles per imperial gallon way of calculating, I now get 51.4 miles per gallon on my first W/E trip (5.5 liters per 100 km) and it's not even broken in! I used to get 44.1 miles to the imperial gallon (6.4 liters/100 km). That's a 14% economy compared to my 2008. If I did take care I'm sure I can improve even more. Haven't had figures like these since I had this specially slow speed trip with my old 1996 Honda ST1100.

I'm impressed with the ECO mode...and all!

Hi guys,
I'm just a newbe aound here, but i'm a member in the ZG/GTR fanatics forum across the big pound. I was looking to find the shop manual for the 2010-2012 model years being that I changed my 2008 GTR1400 for the 2012 just two weeks ago. I have the previous shop manual purchased from ebay and would like to get my hands on the one made for years 2010-12. That one isn't available on ebay. My Google search brought me to this forum where a 10 month old post was refering to the subject.
Can anybody be of help for a canadian GTR1400 owner? (Concours 14 as it's known here...and the USA)
