Nice to see someone really twisting the throttle :-)

I have a 2013 that I’ve put 22k on. Got a MooreMafia tune for mine only $299! I absolutely love my C14 it’s a lazy boy that can run upper 9 second 1/4 miles with just a tune, filter, & full exhaust. This bike is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

It’s I forget there are places you can’t ride everyday of the year just about,I forget how spoiled I am. My buddies in Kansas City tell me this 🤣🤣🤣

🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@thelifenonadic]

Saving for a C14 and these videos are nice. It's a sport touring machine and most videos are just dudes with no lines and no throttle control going slow as hell. Wanna hear the drivetrain, want to see her leaned over and corner exiting.

I have the same model and color. Just bought in Nov 24. Bad weather is not allowing rides. Did you make any modifications to make it comfortable for a long ride?

[@SheldynRyder]

No modifications! The seat felt pretty good 👍 Knees felt some discomfort, but nothing crazy! Hopefully some better weather comes your way

I'm a long-legged 6'4", so put drop pegs on mine. Now my legs better match the angle of the fairings, and blood can flow to my lower extremities, too. Lost slight lean angle before scraping pegs, but no biggie. Btw, neither of the previous two owners, in their 12 years, scraped pegs. I was the first, on factory pegs, by tucking in tighter and tighter on a roundabout.

Whats the orange light in the dash?

[@SheldynRyder]

It turns on when I disable traction control. I usually turn it off when I am messing around (wheelies). If I kept TC on and the front tire lifted, it would cut power abruptly.

[@f.f.s.d.o.a.7294]

It's worth noting that the traction control is definitely not designed as wheelie control. The front can come up quite a bit before it notices, and is abrupt as mentioned.

[@brandynborsi4748]

Even if you turn off traction control it still remains active. I live on dirt so I know lol. If you try to spin the tire power will be limited 😢. But I can still pull the front off the ground without any power cut. K-track will only cut you off if the wheel slips.

Whats the screen on yours is it aftermarket , I've got a 2016 the screens different than yours and HORRIBLE , i get really bad wind noise , up fully its bad , down fully its REALLY BAD , on my bike you would'nt of heard you talk for noise , i have to wear ear plugs all the time , Great bike though , with earplugs in , i'm after another screen , so i can put my earphones on and listen to music , at the moment you can't ear anything , only bad point about a great bike

[@SheldynRyder]

It is a National Cycle Vstream aftermarket windshield. I believe the item number is N20102. It is definitely a worthy upgrade over stock.

[@paulcon8710]

@@SheldynRyder Cheers i'll look into it seemed a bit high for my taste i like to look over the screen , but worth a look

[@georgepipinis542]

if you are going to record looking through the windscreen, you really need to clean it. very distracting looking through the bug guts.
