I seen these R models pull right to what seems to be the limiter quote:
Where?
If Kawasaki have kept the same rev limit they've done well.
The longer stroke produces higher piston speeds as Psycho stated.
The rev limit has nothing to do with the power curve. Its to stop the engine
grenading.

On my 08 bone stock, the power peaks at 9300, then drops all the way to red line.
On the 14R, it holds power all the way to redline.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Yeah, I saw the dyno chart.
I read his comment as having seen the 14R on the road.
what I said about the limiter still holds.
Apparently Kawasaki have lightened the pistons and strengthened the rods/pins so they can keep the rev limit the same, but pushing that limit higher risks having a very bad day.

Not sure if this is 100% on the money but i heard Ricky went another 9.34 but this time MPH was up around 154 or 155 .. This not not Vegas , it was in Ga.
Anybody have any more news post it up please ..

yeah, he went a 9.18@156 but i cant tell if its the roaring toys bike or the stock piped SE from Vegas. He replied on his FB that it was stock and just lowered, but the pic of him in the post is the other bike with a stock arm and cut seat??

I'm assuming our current collection of sprockets should bolt up to the new ZX 14R........................any idea what gearing this bike will probably like at 62 inches?
It seems SWB it needs to be geared down because of all the torque, so I'm assuming that stretched it wont need as much gear as the Gen 1 ZX 14 right?

Also on the Gen 1 ZX 14 Rickey and Brock seem to have dropped one tooth on the rear and went with 17/40 gearing SWB...............Smokin are you gonna drop 1 tooth on the New ZX 14R and go with 17/41 or are you gonna drop 2 teeth and go with 17/40?

You make more power and tq, no need to shorten gearing to get into your powerband. The more hp you have, the longer gear you will need.

I just heard 9.16 @ 156 ... Good MPH ... That was on the Green bike not the custom bike , all stock but the strap and lowering links ..

That is moving on any stock wheelbase bike, that is insane on something that is stock except the lowering strap and lowering links.

Yeah, my bad, .16. I think I predicted the bike would go 155 all stock in a recent post somewhere. I still hold to my prediction of 165 with a full exhuast, map, and the usual tricks. Talk about the liter bikes no longer having any advantage becuase of weight- this is how it should be.

That is 4 MPH faster that my best run at stock wheel base piped and tunned and Ricky is 25 pounds or so heavier than me .. Not only that the bike out weighs my bike by a bunch !!
That is flying .. I hear he is still fighting wheelies in first gear , he said he was going to drop a tooth in the rear ?
