PRODUCTION ZX14R PRESS INTRO AND OFFICIAL LAUNCH
I have decided that some people are really interested in the progress of the new 14R, and I am excited to be riding 13 new zx14R's to break them in dragracing style for the official launch of the new 14R here in Vegas over the next couple of days.
Today was a real good day to test as it is the 1st time I have evere run here without a head wind. winds were calm and 69 degrees, 28.04 BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, and altitue was 1784, with a corrected altitude of 2800 ft above sea level

I ran my 2010 ZX14 school bikehere with extended arm to 64 inches,airshifter,sidewinder and all and it only ran 9.29 @ 146 with no power commander on it either.

This is my first full pass today when I ran 9.28 151 wit only a 1.58 60ft because it wheelied right off the line.
Im hoping to drop a tooth or 2 on the rear tomorrow, but we supposed to have a head wind again tomorrow!

Wow those bikes are flying. Thanks for the updates Rick
Do you think with a few less teeth in the rear you can get the 60 ft times down?

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.
