... your high beams should always be on during the day at least. It makes sure they see you coming. Never ever turn them off.

I always turn the key on, pat my headlight each day and say you watch out for me now. I'm just going for a ride and not pay attention is you be my eyes. Here, let me throw a little more wattage like put makeup on your so they see you coming butta face.

I was just saying the other day office sir is watthe fuck you think and the gov things I need the lights on fandango and I should not pay attention to every ass liquor slobbering their lips over some phone and is headed my way is how many pee holes are holding it in ass you ride?

There are drunks out on the road hello? Stats say 11% driving are in that window of phone sneak'inns, blowjobs, fast food, makeup, clothes change, what else do they do in a cars around you I need a headlight on for the guy coming from the rear?

I want gov intervention put a headlight on the back so the tailgater knows someone is in his lane LOL

I think if the government wanted to stop motorists from using cell phones, simply equip motorcycle operators with steel toe boots and give them the legal right to kick a dent in the door of an automobile operator they catch on their cell phone. Wholla Problem solved!

Glad you didn't get hurt, Nasty. That's the main thing.

I have a question.

Recently, I have cracked the bike almost open (not quite wide open) as I am rolling along at about 20 mph in trac control 1.

When the bike hits about 8,000 or so, rpm, the engine sounds like it seems to miss a bit? Is that sound I am hearing actually the traction control working, or may it be the engine missing a bit? '

This happens right as the front tire is starting to come up, and I would assume the trac control has to make some sort of noise/change to your normal accelerating engine sound? Right? When its kicking in, it has to be audible somehow, right?

The bike will bring it up a bit in in trac control 1, but I suspect that sound I hear is the system keeping the front end from coming up any further.

Any input is appreciated.

TC kicking in...no worries.

I am relieved. Thanks so much, Grn.

Turn it off....see what she does;)Same scenario...just so you'll know.

Yo 14man, with TC1 on in 2nd gear at about 6500rpm I will rip the throttle wide open and she will almost flip me over but I will keep it almost all the way open, gotta let off a little or it will flip you over before TC 1 intervines, and I can feel a small loss of power like the timing retards just enough to rob power(I'm sure the fueling changes some but it stays smooth) as the TC gently sets the front tire back on the road.

THanks for the input, guys.

I am interested in the variation of the three, well four, really Trac control settings. I'll try it, as Grn suggested, with it entirely off, then in Trac conntrol 3 to see how much variation there is.

Glad to hear that little engine sputter sound was the system working as it should. Gotta admit I was a bit nervous when I first heard that.

I just rolled over 2,000 miles this afternoon. Love this bike. When you accelerate pretty hard ( don't even have to be WOT, the sheer power of this thing accelerating with such force can make your stomach a bit queazy.

But I love it. What a machine, this bike is.

Ha to be honest I don't think I have ever actually got WOT with this machine yet. There's so much grunt to this thing there is no need to.

TC3 is really invasive. It feels like a different bike and not in a good way.

Just turned 22,049 miles on my green 2012 and I have yet to take it out of F or KTRC 1.

Carefull with her if OFF ZMan! She is a straight beast! I don't have to tell you, but it is really crazy how violent 2nd gear can be with tc off. :))) I love it. 3rd gear is just as knarly, and the scary thing is, 4th is frickin stout...

I am killing trac control and going to no intervention to chase the beast, that is when all this rain finally clears...

You guys really want a monster from a roll on try regearing the bike. I went -1+1 with my gearing and it pulls like a nitrous bike alil now. Lets put it this way with gearing if I was racing a zx14r set up exactly like mine and in a race we were always dead even, then I put on my gearing, I would leave him by just walking away. My set up on this bike is really crazy, but it's definitely not for guys just looking to cruise around on thats for sure.

"Only kiddin grn. But I never use the high beam passing switch because your high beams should always be on during the day at least. It makes sure they see you coming. Never ever turn them off. Just stand in front of your bike with them off and in the sun you can barely see em. High beams could save your life. Where I live you are taught when getting your license to always have them on during the day."

The use of low beams during daylight hours is a proven life saver, hence most bikes have them come on with the ignition these days but not the high beams. Riding with high beams on all the time is not only downright discourteous to other road users, at best, you're just going to piss them off, at worst you could dazzle someone coming in the opposite direction and risk a head on which on a bike means you're history. JMO

Pegs are kiddin me????? Your highbeams in the middle of the day aren't that bright at all. The are just visible. Where low beams you can barley make out. But do your own thing. It's not my life on your bike, so I really don't mind what you do. I bet noone here on this site that drives with high beams on during the day have ever been flashed by an on coming car before. On my 11 or 12 street bikes I've had and the 200, 000 miles at least, I have never been flashed or when riding behind friends all the time I have never been told their to bright.

I've been flashed by boobies.

Boobies are good, Moobies?, not so much!

ZX14MAN64, you really want to feel with this thing can do??? Get your ECU flashed by Brock or Ivan. I know other here how have also done it will back me up when I say it makes an already insane machine completely BRUTAL. Stupid fun tho.

Know what I mean!?

I already have a PCV, and Brocks' full enchilada dual system.

I am almost afraid to ask how much that flashing would cost me.

Does that coincide with the PCV? or replace it?

It works in conjunction with the PCv. I can't really say it make more HP or torque, but it comes on FAST HARD and STRONG... and I not joking when I say if you get the flash... seriously take it easy until you realize what it did to your bike. I about had a bad experience the day I put mine in.

I think it was $360 for the flash.
I am telling you man, with the "nanny" feature removed and the secondary flies opening up fully at 3600rpms... this thing might make you pass out... that is the step right after the queasy feeling you referenced.

Ok after listening to you guys speak (love the theme), screw my day job, I am going to start manufacturing Gforce space suits for you brothers. 3...2...1...Lift off!

Thats great omega, but everyone says get the flash its incredible. Well I have it also and it doesn't really add any power that you can feel that much expect really down low. All u guys that want so much power get a lil gearing. For front and back sprockets it under a 100 bucks. And go to a racing site (this site is more casual) and anyone will tell you that regearing your bike is the most powerful thing feeling wise you can do even more so than exhaust. Unless were talkin nitrous or turbo. But try it. Super cheap and if its to much it comes right off.

Before I stretched my bike a lil while ago I went back to stock gearing again. I could not believe how slow the 14r felt. I'm not kidding once you get used to the gearing and then go back to stock from a 3rd gear roll it feels like it bogs down big time and takes FOREVER to top out. Now if I sound crazy to you for saying that. .....well get some gearing and I promise you, you'll be laughing in your helmet. Ohh and for the first 2 gears you'll be wheeling like a 1000. Hence now I'm streched out to use all the power. 100 bucks or less and its done. Don't like it take it off. But like I said it WILL make your 14 feel slower once it's off.
