I just got the call that my exhaust has arrived ,will be picking up fri, hope to get her put back together next week , depending on work schedule , ..

I find it much quicker to go ahead and pull the radiator as well.

I was thinking about doing that but I already broke one bracket and I was trying to limit removal of stuff as much as possible, looks like it will be easier to install the exhaust then the removal, they just us springs on there install video , but thx maverick1441 ,keep cruising ,

Good luck. Reminds me of how much of a royal PITA that plastic is to get apart and back together without breaking those brittle tabs.

Slow and easy and know which direction to pull in. Don't just yank anything.......

"I find it much quicker to go ahead and pull the radiator as well"...yup...much easier..

Yep easier, but I'm a lazy sob, so long extension and mobile socket adapter.... worked well enough for me and didn't damage any fins in the rad.
After tight... start bike and bring up to temp (till the fans kick on) let cool and retorque the nuts

3RD I always do. When I torque to spec the need to know spec is bang on is a must. Can't do this properly with the ole Wobbly head extensions imo.

Lol, yep, but you have Wheee Whittle Hands Lmao. Sorry hand to. Tee He

Two bolts, one top left and right. One bolt on bottom of rad support. 3 hose clamps. Most important A Bucket for the fluid. While Rad is off give her a flush. You will be amazed at the fine sediment in the bottom of bucket. Filter when pouring back in. You don't have to do this but I always do.

If you change your mind use cardboard to protect the rad fins. Knuckles have a way of folding them in.

Hope this helps Cheers

thx you Romans for your help, do you know are the rad guards worth the $ or are they a novelty ?

Beauty is in the Eye of the beholder. I never use them. Big girl runs hot enough already so the thought of anything out front does not sit well with me. To date I have never lost a rad any any of my 14's and I do not know of anyone else that has.

What has peeked my interest is the front fender extensions. I see it on my buddies Concourse and this is a exact fit for our 14s. My thinking this will keep more dirt off my Rad keep motor cleaner along with reduced Risk from stones.

yea I was wondering about the temp, I ride her to work which is an hr one way, and its not at 55 , so I do see temps rising a bit , im just getting more and more hooked on her and her performance and wanna do all I can to keep her happy ,

bye the way you have a great looking 14 , love the subtle red , fins , wheels , brocks badge ,

I agree.. Romans ur bike is definitely a beaut..

The radiator gaurds do there job. I've had one on my zx10 and both zx14's. After getting 2 punctures in my zx10 ive put them on all my bikes. Some of the mountain and back roads we ride have have alot of fine loose gravel and debris.
And stuff gets kicked up when traveling in groups. Better safe than sorry. Been stuck a few hundred miles from home.
You can easily make your own out of some fine gril or mesh screen
