What difference is there between the ZX14R listed in the service manual as ZX1400EC -vs- the ZX1400FC?
From what I have read, the EC is 6.7 pounds lighter than the FC. The EC came with Metzeler tires and the FC with Bridgestone tires. The EC came with the rear passenger seat cover and the FC came with the passenger handle.
Perhaps the EC/FC is a country distribution equipment thing, with EC being US and FC maybe being Europe.
I seriously doubt any difference is significant to me, but I am curious.
Background: I haven't seen the bike, but if it is what the seller says it is, I will be buying a 2012 14r this Saturday. Anticipating this purchase I downloaded the owners manual and the service manual. Reading through these I seen the EC/FC designation listed with no explanation between them, at least I cannot find any.
So, if anyone would like to enlighten me, I'm all ears!
