Hi guys, just wanted to ask to see if anyone has answers for this.
I bought my 03 Z1000 new back in 05. Did the usual break-in and the bike has been trouble free. However, it feels rather slow. I don't feel like it puts out that much power. It's like that from the beginning. For a liter bike, it's not that fast. It's not even close to popping wheelie or neck snapping acceleration. I heard some of the earlier models have been toned down from factory but I don't know if that's true. Some reviews say that Z1000 is really fast and has lots of torque but I don't find that in my bike. It's not slow like if there's any mechanical problems but it just doesn't feel all that fast like other people rave about. Anyone else notice the same??? Does anyone know the cause of it???
