Question 350 mile ride last saturday on the zx14

Hey everyone,

I went for a long ride on saturday, I have had my 14 for 3 weeks ( I had a zx12R before). Just thought I would give some thoughts on the comfort / lack of during the ride.

My bike is stock except for the Corbin peg extenders ( moves the pegs about an inch).

I was fine until I hit 4 hours in the saddle - after that my left knee was killing me - I think this was due to the peg extenders - they also move the peg out ( away from the center of the bike slightly) - I think that slight angle was the issue, I have removed them.

The bike ran great - the route we took was through some very twisty roads in Washington State. Only issue way on the way home I stopped for a light after getting off the freeway,the heat gauge went to the top - 1st time I have seen that. It didn't give me a warning and as soon as I took off again it came back down to 3 bars.

Anyway - just thought I would share.
