New ZX14
Hi everyone I just got a new 08 ZX14 and I have a couple ?'s First I have almost 120 miles on my bike and the gas gage has not moved from showing a full tank. Second the bike jerks hard when the clutch is all the way in and I put it into 1"st gear. I thought it was just the plates sticking but it is still doing it very hard and hasn't got any better yet. Any thoughts on this?

The "jerk" is pretty much normal for any motorcycle. Especially if the idle is a little on the high side. However, your gas gauge is not working. With 120 miles on it your tank should read way below half.

take it back to the dealer and get him to fix the fuel guage, probably just the float

Dealer took a look and says it is the fuel sending unit and ordered the part. I have to say that Woods Cycle Country has been the best dealership I have ever done business with and I have dealt with many.
