Hello Everyone,
My name is Mike and I live in the Lancaster, PA area. Just yesterday I picked up a 2008 C14 that showed up on Facebook Marketplace. The bike looked good from a distance, but up close it was apparent the it had spent the last several years stored outside. Rust in the tank, rust on bolt heads, faded black trim, faded seat, and moderate corrosion on the wheels. Anyway, it runs...kinda...won't rev past 5000 rpm if you open the throttle, so I'm currently sifting through the clogged fuel filter threads. On the plus side, the bike has 22K miles, has a dual Muzzy exhaust with what appears to be zx14 headers, an ECU flash of some kind (the guy couldn't tell me which flash), Garmin GPS, and a wired intercom system.
I got it for a good price and am ok with a project bike. Currently I have a Yamaha MT10 and a BMW K1200LT so the C14 fits right in between those two. About 6 months ago I sold my 2006 ZX14 and regretted it ever since so it's nice to have a derivative of that bike back in my garage. I hope to learn a lot on this forum.
Mike
