Hello all and thank you for all the post and good information that I was able to read on the forum before I made the final decision to purchase my new 2014 C14 ABS. I was super excited once I test rode the bike and had to have it. It is a lot more bike than the Ninja 650 that I have been riding.
That year is correct 2014. I found a brand new 2014 C14 at one of the local dealers and as you could imagine it was a deal that I just couldn't pass up. Now I expected a few issues from a bike that has sat on a show room for that long but didn't expect what happened.
Got the bike home from the dealer and discovered a crack in the front fender. No big deal, the dealer will take care of it. They did and have already ordered me a new fender. One the way home I noticed that it was not full of fuel. Odd, they usually fill it up when they do the pre-delivery check. So, I stop to fill it up the next day and when I open the fuel cap at the gas station I can hear the rust breaking free as I open it. Oh, the rust. The top and inside of the fuel tank is covered in rust. Put just enough fuel in it to get to the dealer and back I went. They scrubbed what they could out and drained the fuel, brought it back out and said you are good to go and they will contact me about the warranty on the fuel tank. Great!
About 200 miles before it started acting funny. Thought that I would just get past the break in period, make the oil change and see what changes so the dealer couldn't blame it on the break in. Now.....she wont run. acts like the fuel pump is going out. I made it home from work yesterday but its back to the Ninja until I can trailer it back to the dealer. I really want to want and like this bike. I hope he dealer comes through for me.
Has anyone else experienced such events? and one last thing, every thing that I can find on the internet and in the owners manual for this bike is that it should have tire pressure monitoring. I can not find it anywhere. I watched you tube, read the manual and when you go to the menu on the display its just not there. Go into the setting menu it not here either. Did they make some without it or did I miss something??
Any input would be appreciated.
