Title: Suspension differences between 2008 and 2012 C14s?
Post by: Fearless on April 02, 2012, 09:22:48 PM

Can anyone one here tell me if there have been any substantial changes in the forks or rear shock between the 2008 C14 and the 2012 model?
If so, has anyone ridden both and can you feel a difference?

I rode a 2012 ZX14R at Daytona Beach a few weeks ago, and the suspension was soooo much better than my 2008 C14. Firm and compliant yet not nearly as harsh over small bumps (less high speed compression damping).

Do a search and you'll find what Kawa did to improve the forks- they added a little bit more fork fluid!
