Sold my Fireblade and got a 30k kms 2010 C14

I used to COG with my C10 a few years ago but sold it on and got into a KLX, then a Triumph Tiger, and then a 2nd gen Fireblade (last of the carbed 'Blades!).

A 2010 C14 came up with only 30k kms (18k miles) that an older fella had parked up in his shed a few years ago when it tipped over in a parking lot. Some surprisingly minimal scuffs on the bodywork and the windscreen wasn't moving, but otherwise it's barely broken in!

Got the windscreen assembly out on the weekend, cleaned up the motor and the connections and it worked when I plugged it all back in again. I'm currently battling a clutch that refuses to be bled.

Looking forward to getting to know the C14 better this summer and glad to be back on COG.

Welcome back, Tim (tk1ng)! Congrats on the new-to-you C14. Break it in by joining us at our National Rally @ Lake Guntersville State Park, Guntersville, AL in June. See the National Rally information Web pages, if you've not already viewed them.

Might try a Mity Vac. These are not all that expensive and is how I bleed the brakes and clutch. I inadvertently let the master on the front brakes go dry. Even though I was getting good clean fluid at the calipers with no air, The brake lever was spongy. I ended up bleeding master using the Mity Vac. I had a great brake lever after that. Lesson learned...do not let the reservoir go dry.

Enjoy the C14. A great machine.
