I thought this has been discussed before. There is no happy way to make a ZX motor shaft drive or make a C14 chain drive.

I bet You could build a C14 motor to ZX specs with a sourced ZX head, and pistons. Then You would have to scrounge up the ZX wiring harness, and ECM. Could be done, if someone just wants to see if they can do it. Definitely wouldn't be cost effective.

"ZG" and "cost effective" together make an oxymoron.

No, but a turbo will.

I was thinking the ZX14 or ZX14R route might be a little more long term reliable though right? Also I think I read up about somebody that turbo'd theirs and it caused some damage...  :-\

Do you have the link MP?

How about an unhappy way, brute force $?  :-\

Turbo is the way to go, just keep the boost down.  As $$$$$$$ isn't the issue I would have an engine builder spec out the internals.  Do a turbo search as we have few cool threads describing all the details.  I wanna say it's spazonaconcours or something similar.
An easier way to boost performance is paint her Silverdammit ;D

Be easier to add luggage and bar risers to the ZX, then modify a suitable windscreen.

I don't know the ZX14 motor but on the GPZ1000/GTR1000 the only difference was a bolt on bevel drive that connected to the shaft.
On the GPZ it was a straight drive with a sprocket for the chain and a chain/sprocket cover.
Could be the same for the ZX14/ZG14.

However, chances are the gearbox ratios will be different and there are bound to be other differences.
Whassup ZG,.... need a new project?  ::)

Na, I wouldn't want to loose all the comfort features, ergo's, and shaft drive of the C14.

Everyone always says the C14 motor is just a de-tuned ZX14 motor, so I'm trying to understand why it wouldn't work and what all it would take to make it work...  :-\
