Blue 14 from north

[Villiam3rd]

So a month ago i bought stock bike that has been poorly maintained,it was cheap but needed some tlc.
It's k2 model that started its journey in L99 blue/white color, sadly somebody painted the bike metallic blue
Rear shock preload adjusters were seized so had to do a fair bit of filing to get the pins out that hold adjuster knobs in place.
Changed 42 tooth rear sprocket, new oem front sprocket an new chain of course.
Fitted jack up kit, puig naked screen,wider handlebars, stainless akrapovic full race system and power commander.
Now the bike is tuned and it is much better than month ago.

Do you ride in the zone of 6,000-7,000 rpm ?

Do you ride in the zone of 6,000-7,000 rpm ? 

No, but as you can see from the torgue curve there is over 130nm of torgue in my use from 2000 to 6000rpm. That is the range where most of the riding is done.

  let us know how the rear tyres hold up 

[seth]

I get 8000+ miles out of my rear tyre using Pirelli gt's
I have 136bhp at the rear wheel.
Mines the blue line on the graph it's not the most upto date dyno but show what it was .

[Villiam3rd]

Seth, what modifications you have on your bike?
Well see how tyres hold up, in spring finnish roads are rough and tyre wear is immense thru may.
I have michelin pilot road 3 in the back and pirelli something in the front, can't remember what it is.
Today i loosenend the front brake disc bobbins and checkd that all brake pistons were moving.
Sadly it started raining so i won't be riding the bike to work, will have to test if there is any improvement some other day.

Sounds good, still reliable but lots more power than stock bike

So... Oil cooler started leaking and as i suspected the flange is cracked
Original spare part is out of guestion, because the price is thru the roof.
Does anybody know where i can buy AN fittings to the block?. I looked at HEL performance web site, but could not find them for sale.

What is an AN fitting? If you are thinking of trying to fix the standard cooler, in all honesty its unlikely it can be done if its leaking.

See this thread on oil coolers - also has links to the HEL oil cooler or in fact the Setrab cooler that HEL use...

AN (Army/Navy)  also known as Dash. HEL uses these.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN_thread

@Villiam3rd
Might be worth it to call HEL as they may be willing to sell them even though they are not listed by themselves.

You can also check this ebay shop. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/Torques-U-K?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Might even have a shop on ebay-Finland (they have one in Germany). If you can't find the item you may contact them. Quite sure some here have used them.

[Villiam3rd]

For sure the cracked cooler can't be fixed.
Torques UK does sell AN fitting to gsxr, and it has the same bolt spacing(32mm) on the block as gsx14.
Still decided to order coolexperts oil cooler, for now it is the fastest way get back on the road.

[Villiam3rd]

Today as the bike is resting without oil cooler, decided to remove the tank and clean the tea bag filter.
To my suprise the fuelpump didn't have tea bag at all .
Will have to think about fitting 6mm filter in the fuel line for now, at first look couldn't find strainer for sale in finland.
