[QUOTE="Orbit, post: 936654, member: 4831"] I owned a 2008 C14ABS from 2009 to 2011. Not the quality of a Yamaha. I was fortunate enough to have owned a 2007 FJR before the C14 and realized the difference in quality. The glove box on my C14 was difficult to open from the start. The dealership made adjustments but it didn't work. Had a recall to have a cover put on a rear brake spring. After a few thousand miles the front brakes started grabbing real bad. Lots and lots of C14 riders were having the same issues. Kawasaki replaced the rotors and the issue went away for a while but started back after about 3,000 more miles. Got rid of the bike. I looked on the C14 forum a few weeks ago and owners of new bikes still having the front rotor warping issues. I opted for a Royal Star Venture last year, but that was a big mistake. Too much bike for me. Once on an FJR nothing else will do for me. Just bought a 2012 FJR Monday and put a 100 miles on it yesterday before the rain came. I love to ride this bike. It is just so much fun and so easy to handle compared to the cumbersome RSV. Orbit [/QUOTE]
