Does anyone know why the Wheels on our ZX14s were designed the way they are?

Feather my cry for that OEM did I set the weight up and you now own the slowest. Ask yourself the first time you picked that thing up and could not believe it weighs less than some Z1 mag-wheel, first addition for argument sake. Now use less weight and bubble the molten some exit and there you go, bubble-beam-rim sorta see it like that.

If I fish for an eyepodishopisstainsannyomommahouseaazzzzzzzzzzzzzz slip in the kitchen sink why don't yeah room for what? Shrink that fuker. this ain't no phone clip!

ummm..okay...anyone ELSE out there? (J/K)

That's a pretty broad question. In regards to what? Weight? Width? Diameter? Material? Manufacturing process? Spoke layout?

^^^^ANY OF THE ABOVE or all

The wheels are heavy. I always heard it contributed to the stability at high speed but we don't hear you guys with lightweight wheels complaining at all, do we.

I'll narrow it down.The spoke design then.

I'd say it's a compromise between the styling, engineering, and financial departments at kawasaki.
The wheel will hold up to the stresses of riding, looks ok, and will allow the bike the compete in MSRP without making kawasaki bankrupt.

Look at a spoke wheel. It hangs on a V = 3 point landing >spoke down[spool Hub]UP to join triangle stress is the best = Draw a line vertical.
Look at the 14 spoke. Incorporated from one joint to the next to V to the hollow-lite [HUGE-hub] and once again... Points at the vague. How close are we getting or leaving for Vegas I keep guessing at the crapisshootable?

Okay...makes sense for strength.But why not just have STRAIGHT(or V)shaped spokes?(not angled off-center as ours are).

I'd say it's a compromise between the styling, engineering, and financial departments at kawasaki.

Once the basic concept is established as in any snowflake will do... Catch a few flakes and mail them to the manufacturers. Ask for the next wheel 3V to look like this here Coloraredough our YouToe, say SnoozejerzzzSea Snow me a rim design.
