[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1190193, member: 329"] As a C14 owner for the last 7 years, my opinion is that the C14 needs some serious updates if they want to be competitive with the FJR GEN3s. The motor is fine, just needs some mapping adjustments to open the secondary butterfies sooner (which is currently offered by the aftermarket for $375). The suspenion needs different spring rates and full adjustability. The biggest challenge will be to modify the frame to lower the center of gravity and make the C14 more nimble. They also need to modify the seating position so the rider isn't riding downhill most of the time. It was a great package when the GEN2 version was released in 2010 but its moved from first to last since then. [/QUOTE]
