Hey guys,
Recently picked up a 2010 ZX14 Special Edition in mint shape with 6k on the clock for a song from the original owner. I have been cruising the forum for a while gathering info as I mod this beast out. Thought it was time for me to join and say hello to everyone! I have had almost a dozen bikes in the 9 years I've been riding including Suzukis, Ducatis(my personal favorite~something special about Ducs for me), a Royal Enfield(2014 Continental GT~still have this), a Triumph Speed Triple, and several Kawasakis(2 10Rs and now the 14). After everything, Ducs included, I just keep coming back to Kaw. Kaw's seem to have this feeling of raw power I just can't get away from, definitely my favorite Japanese bikes for sure. You all have an amazing forum here that seems to stay strangely civil in the discussion and debate as far as forums go, so I am glad to be a part of your online community. Looking forward to the advice you guys have to offer and the transformation of my bike from a mild mannered production bike to an all out animal.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome! I usually hate forums, because people tend to be tools in my experience when they are behind a keyboard/ pc screen. This place is surprisingly not filled with tools, and boy, Rook sure kills it on his tutorials! He should be charging for that kind of awesomeness.

Thanks, cghorr01.

You know, Grn, I might do that. All I need is to send them a link to here....but then why would they pay me for it? LOL That's what I get for downloading a service manual (twice). Instant karma got me!

Welcome cghorr...
Hey Rook, you should go for it.
Im not a lawyer (I have dignity I'd like to keep intact thank you very much) but those how to's are your own intellectual property.
You have kindly chosen to share them on this forum for people to use for their own personal assistance and use but I reckon Kawa or anyone else could not take and use them to make profit or gain without your concent.
Just guessing but...

OK, I'll try. I'm not sure what to say...."dear Kawasaki. Look at my ZX-14 tutorials. If you are interested in them, I will sell you usage rights." LOL Couldn't hurt to try.
