In 2012 Kawasaki replaced the ZX-14 with the ZX-14R. The "R" designation was significant, as it indicated a quantum step in performance. The engine was stroked from 1352cc to 1441cc and a more aggressive cam was installed. Most signifcantly to us, the intake ports were redesigned and hand-polished, allowing Kawasaki say in their offical ZX-14R launch press release: "the new Ninja ZX-14R really does come 'ported' right from the factory".
All these changes gave the ZX-14R more stock horsepower than the only other bike in it's class - the mighty Suzuki Hayabusa.
The motorcycle media was all over it, declaring the Kawasaki ZX-14R the undisputed leader in factory sportbike performance.
The Kawaski engineers did their homework and produced a bike with very little room for improvment. But we did our homework as well, with two rounds of development with the 'Gen1' ZX-14. Interestingly, Kawasaki engineers took the same path to their exhaust port improvment as we did with our first-generation ZX-14 K1 program. So when the ZX-14R came out, we were one step ahead of even the Kawasaki engineers.
We hit the ground running when we took delivery of our first ZX-14R. Modeling from our K2 generation of packages we offer any level of improvment for the ZX-14R, from a basic "port-and-cam" package to larger-bore pistons to advanced valvetrain technology, to stroker cranks.
Below is
our full line of ZX-14R packages.
For additional horsepower, bored throttle bodies can be added to
any
of these packages for a 5-7 horsepower gain.
