Not from anywhere I have seen... there really is no Gen 3 yet. (The few paltry changes made a few years hardly count- same bodywork, same instrumentation, same drivetrain; at least not in my mind)
I think that the '15-'16 (and probably the '17
) have enough changes to warrant a Gen 2.1 designation. Most changes are backward compatible but the amount of work required to get the lower 1st gear ratio earns it the .1 designation in my book. We haven't heard much about the change in the linked brakes from folks that have ridden both. I'd like to hear more opinions from those that have experienced both. (
in a new thread please) I wonder if one can simply replace the ABS pump with a newer model to get the change in linking action? ($1200.00
, never mind ) I personally have found that
(understanding that windshields, like seats and bar heights are very subjective) the Gen2.1 windshield is a very noticeable improvement and if the change in brake linking and lower first gear ratio are comparable in scope, then yes 2.1 seems warranted IMO.
It's all in good fun. BUT, Gen 1's are not speed limited as are all the others.
Just to be accurate, I believe they (Gen 1s)
are speed limited, just at a higher speed than the Gen IIs, 300kph vs 250kph (186.4mph vs 155.3mph). Yeah I know, moot (and all in good fun
), since it's doubtful that it would go that fast even if unencumbered by a limiter...but it is limited just in case someone with ZX14 heads and full area P and stock flash finds a long downhill straight with a 50mph tail wind
.
OOPs, Sorry Steve, extensively off topic here.
(but for the record I didn't start it. This time. )
So to return to topic, yes I said I'd get my reflash in December, and I still haven't done it yet....it
is gonna happen. Now I think I should first get my valves adjusted again, and (It's time ODO 47000+) new spark plugs, and a throttle body balance first, so the reflash can really shine.
