22,000 Mile valve adjustment check
No adjustment was needed.
All the exhaust valves were .23, #1 intake was .18 & .17 #2 .18 &.18 #3 loose .16 &.18 #4.18 &. 18.
Spark plugs looked good and could have gone another 20,000. 12,400 miles on Muzzy turbo stage1.
Changed oil every 2,000 miles with 10-40 Kawasaki motorcycle oil. Last oil change was Mobile 4T 10-40 motorcycle racing oil with no change in top end or ET that was noticed. Dyno test may prove different. No oil consumption between changes.
This is by far the best motorcycle out of 36 that I've owned.
Stock wheel base with Michelin Power Road. 10.01 ET at 147mph. Average 98 degrees @ 4225' elev.
This is the first time the valves were checked and plugs replaced. Just ran too good.

Pretty much drive my age 59. Gets beat up hard at the strip. Total WOT time 37 minutes, thats a very long time on 5# boost for any motor. Going back to Kaw oil, show slower top end with syn.

I have 45k on my ZX14 and have never had them checked the bike is stronger than ever on the dyno so I doubt I need it done.
