Iano 0 Posted March 28, 2012 must be exciting, hope you get it sorted for a ride soon, not too heavy for such a huge bike although still too heavy for the likes of me, just the machine for the open spaces. looks like a good summer (or is it winter there) for you.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted April 6, 2012 It has an issue with the battery loseing charge.Dont think it battery or charging system related.Even with a flat battery you can jump start it, use it, and it charges up OK.Leave it a few days and its totaly flat.Two of the ASF guys with 14's say it could be due to the smashed clocks and the internal circuit board being damaged and open to the weather.I've pulled both the blue multi-plugs to disconect the clocks and chargedthe battery up. Will try it in a few days, see if it changes anything.Theres a bit of electrickery in the clocks but it still seems to start andrun OK without them.Flicking through a few old mags I found a 14 with "Koso" clocks.Google took me here....http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/rx2...nction-7-p.aspandhttp://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/rx2...screen-2-p.aspFound a couple of new/unused Staintune baffles in my collection.Put one in the Yoshi. Bit too small and not real good looking butmade a difference so it'll do as a temporary fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony nitrous 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Wasnt convinced about the red flat/drag bars.Red was fading, they were VERY close to the tank,and im more used to higher, wider bars than leaning forward.Good job I keep a set of Black 789-Streetfighter Renthalhidden away for just such an emergency.Fixed.

Bit too small and not real good looking butmade a difference so it'll do as a temporary fixtake your meter and set to amps, 10-20 and attach to the neg side of battery and neg cable, and check for a parisitic draw, ie, a higher amp draw than normal, if it has start taking things out of line like fuse for lights, then check the amp draw, like you said with your clocks, dissconect the block connector and check the amp draw to see if its dropped and so on till you find the cause of the draw, good luck.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted April 21, 2012 All done except the mirrors and clocks.Looks like i'll get "Koso" clocks when I can afford some.Managed to get a quick "test ride".1 tooth down on the front, Full Yoshi system,P.A.I.R removed and a Power Commander.Pull's OK. Quite nice for a Porky retro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony nitrous 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Decided there's no rush.Going to register it when I get home at the start of June. Only 6 weeks away.GSX14 clocks seem few and far between out here,and a bit fragile, mate has a few "dead" sets.I do like the factory clocks,but Koso will work out cheaper and easier to get.http://digitalspeedos.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony nitrous 0 Posted May 5, 2012 Last owner wasnt much heavier than me,so I guess he liked his "corners" ?Hero bolts gone, and he's into the pegs.He's also ground down the side stand and right hand engine mount.Will see if I can do the same, GAME ON!
